Question

Users in a pooled AVD host pool report choppy, high-latency video playback when watching training videos on an internal web portal and on YouTube using Microsoft Edge inside their session. Audio-video calls in Teams already work well because the WebRTC Redirector is deployed. You need to improve the smoothness of the embedded HTML5 video playback in the browser while minimizing server-side CPU on the session hosts. What should you implement?

Accepted Answer

Deploy the Multimedia Redirection (MMR) extension and the MMR host component to the session hosts, and enable the browser extension in Edge.

Answer

Enable device redirection for cameras and audio in the RDP properties of the host pool.

Answer

Install the Teams WebRTC Redirector Service update on all client endpoints.

Answer

Configure an RDP Shortpath for public networks policy to reduce transport latency.
