Navigating the Transition to New Microsoft Teams on VDI: What You Need to Know

In today's age of digital collaboration, using tools like Microsoft Teams in virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments is more important than ever. We've recently had customers ask how well the new Teams client will work in VDI, especially with support for classic Teams ending on June 30th.

The new Teams version has some great new features, but there's a catch: it isn’t fully supported on Windows Server 2019 and doesn't work on Windows Server 2016 at all. This can be tricky for businesses using Teams in Server OS-based VDI environments.

Additionally, the new version of FSLogix (a tool for managing user profiles in virtual desktops) supports the new Teams client, but only on Windows 10, 11, and Server 2022. If you're on Windows Server 2016 or 2019, you might hit a snag.

Don't worry, though, Gotham Technology Group is here to help. We can guide you through the transition to the new version of Teams in your VDI environment. Let's work together to make sure you're ready for these changes and get the most out of collaboration in your virtual setup. Reach out to us today to learn more!
