Citrix, VMware, and Azure Virtual Desktop quality improvements

Improvements for VDI

Citrix

• Merge calls to combine two calls into one conversation. You can either make a new call and merge it with an existing call or merge an incoming call with an ongoing call.

• Background blur effects are now available for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) on Citrix for Workspace app for Mac and Linux (version 2212 or higher). MultiWindow is a pre-requisite (VDA 2212 or higher)

VMware

• Merge calls to combine two calls into one conversation. You can either make a new call and merge it with an existing call or merge an incoming call with an ongoing call.

• This feature supports Human Interface Devices (HID) in Teams. An HID device will work automatically on VDI without additional set up. You'll be able to answer and end a call and mute and unmute your microphone.

Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) / Windows 365

• Merge calls to combine two calls into one conversation. You can either make a new call and merge it with an existing call or merge an incoming call with an ongoing call.

• You can now share individual apps or windows while screensharing. If using RemoteApp, the local desktop of your device is shared. Windows Client version 1.2.3770 and WebSocket service version 1.31.2211.15001 required.

• You can now make a test call to check your microphone, speakers, camera, and network. Go to Settings > Devices > Make Test Call.
