# Use Microsoft Teams on Windows Virtual desktop
14+
15+
> Applies to: Windows 10, and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise
16+
17+
Virtualized environments present a unique set of challenges for collaboration apps like Microsoft Teams, including increased latency, high host CPU usage, and poor overall audio and video performance. To learn more about using Microsoft Teams in VDI environments, check out [Teams for Virtualized Desktop Infrastructure](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoftteams/teams-for-vdi).
18+
19+
## Prerequisites
20+
21+
Before you can use Microsoft Teams on Windows Virtual Desktop, you'll need to do these things:
22+
23+
- Install [Windows Desktop client](connect-windows-7-and-10.md) on a Windows 10 device that meets the Microsoft Teams [hardware requirements](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoftteams/hardware-requirements-for-the-teams-app).
24+
- Connect to a Windows 10 Multi-session or Windows 10 Enterprise virtual machine (VM).
25+
- [Prepare your network](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoftteams/prepare-network) for Microsoft Teams.
26+
27+
## Use unoptimized Microsoft Teams
28+
29+
You can use unoptimized Microsoft Teams in your Windows Virtual Desktop environments to leverage the full chat and collaboration features of Microsoft Teams as well as audio calling. Audio quality in calls will vary based on your host configuration because unoptimized calls use more of your host CPU.
30+
31+
### Install Microsoft Teams
32+
33+
To install Microsoft Teams in your Windows Virtual Desktop environment:
34+
35+
1. Download the [Teams MSI package](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoftteams/teams-for-vdi#deploy-the-teams-desktop-app-to-the-vm) that matches your environment. We recommend using the 64-bit installer on a 64-bit operating system.
36+
2. Run this command to install the MSI to the host VM.
37+
38+
```shell
39+
msiexec /i <msi_name> /l*v < install_logfile_name> ALLUSER=1
40+
```
41+
42+
This will install Teams to either Program Files or Program Files (x86). The next time you sign in and start Teams, the app will ask for your credentials.
43+
44+
> [!NOTE]
45+
> Users and admins can't disable automatic launch for Teams during sign-in at this time.
46+
47+
To uninstall the MSI from the host VM, run this command:
48+
49+
```shell
50+
msiexec /passive /x <msi_name> /l*v <uninstall_logfile_name>
51+
```
52+
53+
> [!NOTE]
54+
> If you install Teams with the MSI setting ALLUSER=1, automatic updates will be disabled. We recommend you make sure to update Teams at least once a month.
