How to enable Teams offloading with Horizon 8?

Hi,

Just testing Horizon 8 and one of the features we're waiting for is the Teams offloading. I've built a Horizon 2006 infrastructure, using the new 8.0 agent and client yet it seems video/audio performance on Teams is as bad as it was before, and going by how much CPU the VM is using versus the load on the physical machine running the client it looks like it is not offloading.

I didn't notice any options for Teams offload when I installed the 8.0 agent, is there supposed to be?  Is there a guide to setting this up?

Cheers

JD

It needs to be turned on during the client install and in a Group Policy.

Ah, so I need to import the GPO bundle for Horizon 8/2006. I assume this won't impact on the 7.12 environment I'm currently running?
