Major Milestone: Microsoft Teams Optimization for RX-series Thin Clients brings parity with Traditional x86-64 Endpoints

 Microsoft Teams optimization for the RX-series devices

The proposition for RX-series thin clients has always been straightforward: they are high-performing and efficient devices offered at a lower cost than X86-64 endpoints. That lower cost reflects some compromises (and benefits), but as the ARM platform grows, software availability continues to expand its usefulness.

We are happy to announce Microsoft Teams optimization for the RX-series devices. This is an industry first, achieving this level of feature support to the Raspberry Pi platform. This optimization bridges critical functionality gaps that led to lag, poor video quality, and reduced functionality. x86-64 endpoints were better equipped to handle Microsoft Teams—especially video conferencing—within virtual environments like Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), Windows 365, or Remote Desktop Services (RDS).

Not anymore.

Our optimization leverages Microsoft Teams A/V enhancements, delivering a smooth video conferencing experience and improved quality of service. Not only does end-user performance drastically improve, but overall bandwidth usage and server workload are also reduced.

Key Benefits of Microsoft Teams Optimization

With NComputing's Microsoft Teams optimization, users can enjoy seamless video conferencing on AVD, Windows 365, and Microsoft RDS with the RX420 and RX440 thin clients. Here's how:

  • Smooth Video Conferencing Experience: The optimization ensures high-quality audio and video communication by enabling direct access to local devices, resulting in clear, lag-free video calls.
  • Enhanced Quality of Service: Adaptive bitrate streaming adjusts media quality based on network conditions, maintaining a consistent experience even with fluctuating network quality. Direct media path optimization reduces latency, improving overall responsiveness.
  • Reduced Bandwidth and Server Workload: Offloading media processing to the local client device reduces bandwidth usage and server processing loads, leading to more efficient network utilization and better performance for other virtual desktop applications.
