Microsoft Teams Optimization for Amazon WorkSpaces Now Generally Available

We have got some exciting news to share: Microsoft Teams optimization for Amazon WorkSpaces is now generally available to all customers. If you’ve been looking for a way to make virtual meetings smoother and more reliable in your WorkSpaces environment, Microsoft Teams optimization provides this capability.

From Public Preview to General Availability

Back in September 2025, Microsoft launched the public preview of Microsoft Teams optimization for Amazon WorkSpaces. The public preview wasn’t just about testing—we worked with customers who enrolled in the program to really understand how people use Teams in their WorkSpaces environments. The feedback was invaluable to getting a general release. It helped to fine-tune the experience, tackle edge cases, and make sure the solution worked for organizations of all shapes and sizes.

Transforming Virtual Meeting Experiences

Video conferencing in virtual desktops can be an inconsistent user experience without optimization. Microsoft Teams optimization is the best way to ensure a consistent user experience. Instead of your virtual desktop doing all the heavy lifting for audio and video processing, that work gets offloaded to your local device. The difference leads to:

• Clear Audio and Video: Your Teams meetings look and sound great—just like running Teams on a physical machine. Even when bandwidth gets tight, video stays smooth and audio stays clear.
• Less Latency: Processing media locally instead of routing everything through the virtual desktop means conversations feel natural. Your users will experience minimal delays with synchronized audio and video.
• Better Performance Overall: When your WorkSpaces instance isn’t working overtime to handle video calls, everything else runs better too. You can hop between apps during meetings without missing a beat.
• Seamless User Experience: Users won’t notice anything different—except that their meetings work better. No new workflows to learn, no extra steps. All your users need to do is just launch Teams and they are set.

Conclusion

The journey from public preview to general availability has been all about listening to our customers. We’re thrilled to make Microsoft Teams optimization available to every WorkSpaces customer, so you can give your users the meeting experience they deserve.
