Microsoft Teams optimization refers to techniques and
features designed to enhance the performance and user experience of Microsoft
Teams, particularly in virtualized environments like Azure Virtual Desktop
(AVD), Citrix, Omnissa, and VERDE VDI. The optimization aims to reduce resource
usage, improve call quality, and ensure smooth operation, especially in
scenarios where bandwidth or processing power might be limited.
The following instructions summarize the necessary
configurations to enable the Microsoft Teams optimization for VERDE VDI on LEAF
OS endpoints, EX500, EX500W, RX540, and RX580 thin clients.
