This question tests knowledge of Microsoft Teams VDI registry configuration on Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts, specifically how registry keys control whether Teams media (audio/video) is optimized via client-side redirection or processed server-side.

Configure and manage a Teams environment

Question

Hotspot Question You have an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment. You have a Teams deployment. You deploy the Teams for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) client on an Azure Virtual Desktop session host and configure the registry settings as shown in the following exhibit. Use the drop-down menus to select the answer choice that completes each statement based on the information presented in the graphic. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Explanation

Approach. The key registry value tested is 'IsWVDEnvironment' (DWORD = 1) located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Teams. When this key is set to 1, Teams recognizes it is running in an AVD environment and enables media optimization - audio and video are redirected to and processed on the local client endpoint rather than the session host, reducing server load and improving call quality. If this key is absent or set to 0, Teams falls back to server-side media processing (non-optimized path), which consumes session host CPU/GPU resources and degrades call quality. A second common key, 'disableGPU' (DWORD = 1), disables hardware GPU acceleration for Teams rendering on the session host when set. Correct answers depend on interpreting these DWORD values: 1 for IsWVDEnvironment enables optimization; 1 for disableGPU disables GPU acceleration.

Concept tested. Teams for VDI registry configuration on Azure Virtual Desktop - specifically the role of the 'IsWVDEnvironment' and 'disableGPU' DWORD registry keys in controlling media optimization (client-side redirect) and GPU acceleration for Teams sessions on AVD session hosts.
