Need to revert the change in order to be able to open the VM.

In the "Memory" section, you will be able to choose the amount of RAM that VMware Workstation can reserve for the started virtual machines : Reserved memory. In the "Priority" section, you can choose the default priority to use for your virtual machines when :. However, be aware that these 2 options can also be changed from the settings of the desired virtual machine.
Warning : these options will only be used after a complete shutdown of your virtual machines.

Workspace In the "Workspace" section, you can first choose the default location for virtual machines.
You will also find settings related to virtual machines : Remember opened tabs between sessions : allows you to automatically reopen the virtual machines that were open at the previous closing VMware Workstation Keep VMs running after Workstation closes : allows you to leave virtual machines running when closing VMware Workstation. By default, this option is not enabled, but in this case, VMware Workstation will ask you if you are trying to close VMware Workstation.
You will have the choice to power off the virtual machines or let them run in the background if you wish. Enable all shared folders by default : by default, this option is disabled to protect you from the folder sharing configured in the virtual machine settings that you start if you are not the creator of this virtual machine.
For example, if you download a virtual machine also called a Virtual Appliance over the Internet and it's configured to share a sensitive folder of the host PC, this protection will protect you from potential host PC attack from the virtual machine.
This option can only be used from Windows 7 if the Windows Aero Peek feature is enabled. After setting this policy, you must log out of the Horizon desktop for the GPO policy to take effect. Horizon Agent must be installed before Microsoft Teams. If the order is reversed, then on first run, Microsoft Teams does not detect Horizon Agent and caches an environment value that indicates the feature is running on an unsupported remote desktop.
This results in Microsoft Teams never supporting the Media Optimization feature unless the cache is deleted. To avoid this issue, be sure to install Horizon Agent before you install Microsoft Teams. Then, on first run, Microsoft Teams detects Horizon Agent and caches the correct environment value, which verifies that the feature is running on a supported remote desktop. As described in the overview of this guide, there are significant advantages to running Microsoft Teams in optimized mode.
However, as you are planning your implementation, keep in mind that end users who are not running supported Horizon Client versions Horizon Client or later for Windows, Horizon Client or later for Mac, or Horizon Client or later for Linux will not be able to take advantage of this feature. They will not, however, go back to running the full client in the virtual desktop because the GPO has set Microsoft Teams to offload audio and video to the client.
Those users will instead run in fallback mode. A user can check if Microsoft Teams is running in optimized mode, fallback mode, or natively no optimization in the virtual desktop. Audio and video quality may be reduced. Talk to your IT admin. If you enable the optimization GPO in the virtual desktop, these clients, although not officially supported, will begin implementing offload. The bugs we found in these clients during beta testing are fixed in Horizon Client for Windows version or later for Horizon 8 or Horizon Client for Windows 5.
VMware strongly recommends using the officially supported versions. For beta testing, VMware published the Horizon Client beta installer for Mac via the beta portal that supports optimization. VMware recommends that you use the officially supported version, Horizon Client or later for Mac, to get the latest functionality and bug fixes for the Mac client. Similarly, VMware published a beta version of Horizon Client for Linux that supports optimization via the beta portal.
VMware recommends using the officially supported version, Horizon Client or later for Linux, to get the latest functionality and bug fixes for the Linux client. The ports described on that page are required to be opened on the client device. Note : The usual Horizon ports are also required, as detailed in the following documents:. Some organizations might require that the process name of the Teams Optimization Pack be added to a firewall allowlist, to allow communication to the Microsoft Teams Cloud server.
The process name is vmware-remotemks. This is a Microsoft restriction. In certain low-powered clients, users may want to turn off software acoustic echo cancellation to reduce CPU usage. In most cases, VMware recommends using the default configuration, which is designed for optimal audio experience.
But if you are having issues with echo, software acoustic echo cancellation can be configured by using a GPO on the Horizon Agent or by setting a registry key on the Horizon Client. Note that this configuration is only supported on Windows Clients. After setting this policy, you must log out of the Horizon desktop for the GPO policies to take effect.
This configuration can also be applied on the Horizon Client for Windows device by setting the following registry key:. To troubleshoot, start by checking whether Microsoft Teams launched in optimized mode and whether the correct local client device names are being picked up.
If so, you can check whether the Microsoft Teams redirection plugin has been installed and check the logs to verify that optimization has been enabled. Procedures for these tasks are described in the following sections:. Asked 6 years, 8 months ago. Active 5 years, 2 months ago.

Works, but this is some cringe, VMWare.
