Une annonce importante cette semaine avec l'officialisation du support des appels et réunions en lignes Microsoft Teams dans un environnement VDI de type Citrix Virtual Apps (XenApp) et Desktops (XenDesktop):
Citrix delivers optimization for desktop-based Microsoft Teams using Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and Citrix Workspace app. By default, we bundle all the necessary components into Citrix Workspace app and the Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA).
Our optimization for Microsoft Teams contains VDA-side HDX services and API to interface with the Microsoft Teams hosted app to receive commands. These components open a control virtual channel (CTXMTOP) to the Citrix Workspace app-side media engine. The endpoint decodes and renders the multimedia locally. Reverse seamless snaps-in the local Citrix Workspace app window back into the hosted Microsoft Teams app.
Authentication and signaling occurs natively on the Microsoft Teams-hosted app, just like the other Microsoft Teams services (for example chat or collaboration). Audio/video redirection doesn’t affect them.
Démonstration:

Problèmes connus et limitations:
- Interoperability with Skype for Business is limited to audio calls, no video modality.

- Incoming and outgoing video stream resolution is limited to 720p resolution. This is a WebRTC limitation.
- Only one video stream from an incoming camera or screen share stream is supported. When there's an incoming screen share, that screen share is shown it instead of the video of the dominant speaker.
- Outgoing screen sharing:
- Application sharing is not supported.
- Give control and take control:
- Not supported during a screen sharing or application sharing session.
- Supported during a PowerPoint sharing session.
- High DPI scaling on CWA is not supported.
