Multimedia redirection (MMR) provides you with smooth video playback while viewing videos in your Azure Virtual Desktop browser. About for our customers better known as Remote Desktop or Windows 365. Multimedia redirection removes media content from the browser to the local computer for faster processing and rendering. Both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome support the multimedia redirection feature. However, the public preview version of multimedia redirection for Azure Virtual Desktop has limited playback on sites in the Known Sites list. If you want to test sites in the list in your organization's implementation, you should enable an extension.
Specifically, this means that teams can then be used properly in a Microsoft Remote Desktop environment.

- YouTube
