For many organizations, deploying a VDI environment is necessary for managing access to applications and systems for remote employees, and can provide benefits of improved security, performance, and cost savings. Teams users on VDI can now manage Teams calls and meetings in a separate pop-out window, allowing them to use the main Teams client while a call or meeting is in progress.

Accessing Teams and chats will be possible while keeping the popped-out call or meeting window visible - whether on the same screen as the main Teams client or on a secondary display. Meeting and call controls such as mute, video, chat, and leave are now located at the top of the meeting window for easy access. Meeting screen pops out leaving the main Teams window accessible.

Getting started: Once users have the latest version of Teams and have satisfied the other requirements, they will see a banner when a new version of Teams is opened for the first time. At this point, they will need to restart Teams. After Teams has restarted, users can open chat in a separate window by simply right-clicking on any chat and selecting Pop out chat option.

Teams users on VDI can give and take control during calls and meetings while sharing their desktop. Give control Presenters can give control to another meeting participant to change a file, help present, or demonstrate. Presenters can take back control of the shared content at any time. Teams then sends a notification to that person to let them know the presenter is sharing control. While control is shared, they can make selections, edits, and other modifications to the shared screen.

Take control To take control while another person is sharing, simply:. Select Request control, from the sharing toolbar prompting the presenter to approve or deny the request. Once a user has control, they can make selections, edits, and other modifications to the shared screen. To return screen ownership to the presenter, select select Release control.

Teams users on VDI can now use real-time captions to improve meeting accessibility for participants with hearing impairments, varying levels of language proficiency, or those who may be attending from noisy environments. Users can also adjust the language captured for improved the accuracy of the captioning.

During a scheduled Teams meeting, users can start a live transcription of the proceedings. The text appears alongside the meeting video or audio in real time, including the speaker's name unless they chose to hide it and a time stamp. Once enabled, any participant can opt to see, save, and download the transcription.
