Hi All,
I've been working on getting the mic and camera working in a pool of Windows Server 2019 (1809. Build 17763.2183) clients we are using for one off client systems. I've confirmed I can get MS Teams working with the local mic and camera as long as I have them turned on in Windows via the privacy settings. We are currently not using multimedia redirection. The issue is having them turned on before or during the time the user is logging in so that they are on during the session. I can't seem to figure out how to get them on.
- I've tried modifying the default user registry hive on the template used for the pool,
- I've tried directly turning them on and saving them with the template.
- I've tried injecting a runonce > regedit /r "registry path" during the customization policy.
This seems to be the key that needs to be modified BUT, this key is already set to allow on my clients:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CapabilityAccessManager\ConsentStore\webcam
However, the "local user" key is set to DENY:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CapabilityAccessManager\ConsentStore\webcam
If I login as a user and set this key, the webcam becomes available so I know this is the key I need.
I'm perplexed as to how I get them to stay on or force them via some other means. I've been trying to avoid group policy for a number of reasons. We are using a customization profile that includes running sysprep which I believe may have something to do with it always being reset. Everything works great accept for this one piece! Any help appreciated.
Ken-
