Previously, during a Teams meeting, if a user went to check their calendar, the meeting window would minimize to the corner of the screen.
A "Background Filter" feature in Teams lets users make those changes.Īlso, AVD users can now use windowing in Teams to pop out things like "chats, meetings, calls or documents." These windowed apps can run full screen, too, Microsoft indicated: They also can blur a room via a "background blur" feature. With the improvements, Teams video call participants using the AVD service can select various backgrounds for a videoconferencing call, instead of showing the room they're in. Organizations wanting to use the new Teams enhancements for the AVD service optimally need to be using the Teams Desktop Client version 1.5 or higher, the announcements indicated. Both capabilities are long-time staples for conventional Microsoft Teams users, but they are now at the "general availability" commercial-release stage for Teams users of the AVD service.
Microsoft this week announced the ability to use background images during Teams videoconferencing calls and the ability to run Teams components in windows. Users of the Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) service now have access to some basic Microsoft Teams functionality.
