@mdh0152  Are you replying to the post I made regarding the performance? I can confirm we are at 9.1.1 and the Zoom package is installed, the BIOS on the thin client is also up to date. Zoom package and plugin on the VDI VM is the latest as well. I just noticed last night during testing that plugging the webcam in after the the VDI session seems to work better than booting the thin client up with the webcam plugged in. Wondering if anyone else has noticed this as well.

I finally got 9.11 working (somewhat). It doesn't recognize our smart cards (but 8.6 did!) and our Yubikey devices only work 50% of the time. It seems like the Yubikeys like ThinOS and the Smart Cards work in VDI. Nothing like 3-factor authentication for security! I found that Zoom works the same, if not worse than it did before. One thing I did find is if you boot the the client with the webcam connected and start a zoom session, the performance is very laggy, and the camera is not even listed in the Peripherals section of ThinOS. However, if you start a VDI session with the webcam unplugged, and plug in your webcam after you have logged into Windows, and fire up Zoom, the video is MUCH better. There is no lag, but the resolution kinda sucks. And I can see the webcam in Peripherals. Can someone else please try this and see if they get the same results?

Hello  All, Question for those of you using FSLogix,  MS Teams  and DEM. I recently added the config template for MS Teams in DEM (9.9) and I'm finding it to be one of the largest profiles in my environment.  I'm wondering since I have FSLogix hosting most of the config files for Teams through the GPO, do I even need the config file in DEM for it?

No worries, I understood what you meant. The installation instructions I posted were from Zoom's own site, in the link provided. I'm getting confused because even their diagrams don't show the plugin installed on the desktop. https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360031441671-VDI-client-features-comparison#h_70badc99-f2fd-417e-bd46-59493ab7047b Cool, thanks. I will give it a try both ways, if I can ever get my 8.6 clients upgraded that is. The methods Dell suggested just aren't working for me and I am stuck on 8.6_606 ATM..

Are you sure about that?  Is that  a Dell recommendation? Zoom's page and drawings show the plug in on the thin client only. Installation Installation of the Zoom application in a VDI environment requires two installation steps: The software must be installed within the Virtual Desktop, typically within the image on the VDI server.  The Zoom Media Plugin is installed on each of the thin clients accessing the VDI. https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360031096531-Getting-started-with-VDI

Just for clarification.. As @VMVSF pointed out earlier in this thread, the Zoom VMware Media Plugin is installed on the thin client, not on the host OS. And as @Alberte1  pointed out, Dell thin clients with 9.11, now have version 3.3.2 of this plugin pre-installed.
Thanks for letting me know. What version of Horizon are you using?   In your opinion, is it even worth the trouble of updating?
Hello,   Was this ever resolved? I'm seeing the same thing in my DEM (9.9) logs with Windows 10 1909 and Horizon 7.10.   Thanks!

@VMVSF , Thanks for relaying your experience and validating the issues. We're using the new 5470 line of mobile and AIO thin clients running 8.6_412 of ThinOS, but we have 5070's internally and I can confirm the same experience with those as well. If you are using BLAST as opposed PCoIP, it just reaffirms that this issue has something to do with the thin clients and/or ThinOS. I even tried playing with the video settings in the thin client and it made no difference. I did find in the Dell documentation that recommends using the Logitech C930e for the 5470 line of thin clients because of their ability to perform hardware encoding, so I have one of those on order to test. I also have on order a 5470 laptop with an integrated web cam to see if that make a difference as well. I will report back on my findings. The cam should be here next week, but no idea on the other 5470. I would be interested to find out if the upgraded NVidia driver works for you. I tried messing around with the Nvidia Desktop Manager in the VDI session, but again it made no difference for us. As @jmacdaddy, suggested, I did bypass the thin clients and used my laptop to hold a zoom meeting through the UAG's. The difference using my laptop over using the thin client was much better, although the video on my laptop was a bit pixelated, there was no freezing, or major video delays. Thanks for the info on the Zoom plugin. I did read that but I figured installing it on the VDI image was better than nothing! I think I will call Dell and see if they can come up with something to offer.   Thanks, C

Why the hell didn't I think of that?   Actually, I did, but due to company policy, we aren't supposed to do that. However, for the greater good I tried it last night, and it works well. So I guess it comes down to the thin clients being the issue, specifically I think it is Wyse ThinOS. Unfortunately, I cannot find anything about plugins, optimizations or enhancements for Zoom using ThinOS. Is anyone else using Dell-Wyse thin clients with ThinOS and Zoom? I guess a call into Dell is in order. However, given past experience, I'm not holding out much hope. Thanks!

Hello, Looking for some assistance on using Zoom in our VDI environment, mostly for users logging in remotely using Dell thin clients (and UAG's for authentication). We are using VDI with PCoIP in our environment. If I log in remotely using a thin client, authenticate through the UAG's, get assigned a desktop and fire up Zoom, the experience is horrible, and basically unusable. Audio and video is choppy and frequently freezes up. VDI resources are not an issue, CPU/RAM/GPU are all under 50% utilized with Zoom running. All other apps work fine. However, if I connect to our corporate network using a laptop with a traditional VPN, and use the Horizon Client to connect to the same pool, Zoom works MUCH better in VDI. I understand that it should be better over the VPN because of dedicated resources vs. shared, but the difference is night/day. Made some typical optimizations and other registry changes to the VDI image to for situations where high latency could be an issue, but that has not made a difference. UAG's are behind the corporate firewall and F5 load balancers, and the only ports open for remote connectivity are 443 and 4172 (PCoIP). Connection servers on the internal network are also behind a F5 load balancer. VDI image has all the latest updates and agents, and all applications are local, no AppStacks involved. Environmental Specs Horizon 7.10 ESB DEM 9.9 Instant Clones Windows 10 1909 (Ent.) 4 CPU/10 GB RAM/ 75GB Disk  NVidia M10 (1GB Profile per user) Zoom Client for VDI (5.4.58716) Zoom Plugin for VMWare Horizon (5.4.58714) Dell 5470 Thin Clients UAG 20.09 Other than Zoom, the environment with the remote thin clients and UAG's work great, but my boss considers this Zoom issue a "showstopper" and is hesitant to release this service to our users until this is resolved. I know there are a lot of moving parts to this environment, but I am hoping someone else has run into this same or similar issue and can offer some suggestions! Thanks! C

We are using Teams as part of our O365 Tenancy, which I assume you are as well based on your reply. We had to make several registry entries on our default image in the default user profile. Entries included Tenancy and Identity information. You may want to reach out to your O365 Team and see if they have any specific requirements for your install. Also, you want to make sure that you have installed Teams in "Per Machine" mode if you are using Instant Clones.

Yes. Sorry for the late reply on this. We have 2 UAG's and 2 Connection Servers in our environment. Both UAG's are behind a load balancer and use the same certificate for the external URL. I was downloading the Metadata from both UAGS and adding them to the Connections servers. This was incorrect. Since it is the same certificate, the metadata was the same. Instead, I downloaded the metadata from one UAG and gave it the name of the external url, added it to one Connection server, then enabled the same server metadata on the second Connection server.

Hello, We're using the Teams per machine system Wide Installer ver. 1.3.0.13565, Instant Clones and DEM 9.9. I have tried every setting listed in this thread and still getting the following screens (in order) when starting Teams for every user at every login. We are using Federated O365 with Office 2016. I'm guessing this is not "expected behavior." Has anyone gotten this working?
