Images for Windows 11 Enterprise, version 24H2 and Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session, version 24H2 are now available in the Azure Marketplace. These images also include versions with Microsoft 365 apps. The Azure portal will be updated later this month to allow the convenient selection of 24H2 images when creating session hosts from within the Azure Virtual Desktop service.

Yubico and Microsoft have partnered to provide smart card redirection for iOS and iPadOS Windows App users, which is available in preview starting in version 11.0.4. The Yubico integration supports the latest [YubiKey 5 portfolio](https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-5-overview/).

### AVC Mixed mode support for Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 session desktop when multimedia redirection is not enabled
36
+
37
+
AVC Mixed Mode is now available in the default graphics profile. When multimedia redirection isn't enabled, AVC/h.264 is used to encode detected image content instead of the RemoteFX image encoder. This improves performance when encoding images relative to bitrate and framerate in network-constrained scenarios.

### New Teams SlimCore changes are now available
42
+
43
+
Microsoft Teams on Azure Virtual Desktop supports chat and collaboration. With media optimizations, it also supports calling and meeting functionality by redirecting it to the local device when using Windows App or the Remote Desktop client on a supported platform.
44
+
45
+
There are two versions of Teams, classic Teams and [new Teams](/microsoftteams/new-teams-desktop-admin), and you can use either with Azure Virtual Desktop. New Teams has feature parity with classic Teams, and improves performance, reliability, and security.
46
+
47
+
New Teams can use either SlimCore or the WebRTC Redirector Service. SlimCore is now available. If you use SlimCore, you should also install the WebRTC Redirector Service. This allows a user to fall back to WebRTC, such as if they roam between different devices that don't support the new optimization architecture. For more information about SlimCore and how to opt into the preview, see [New VDI solution for Teams](/microsoftteams/vdi-2).

### Multimedia redirection for video playback and calls in a remote session
52
+
53
+
Multimedia redirection call redirection is now generally available. Multimedia redirection redirects video playback and calls in a remote session from Azure Virtual Desktop, a Windows 365 Cloud PC, or Microsoft Dev Box to your local device for faster processing and rendering.
54
+
55
+
For more information, see [Multimedia redirection for video playback and calls in a remote session](multimedia-redirection-video-playback-calls.md?tabs=intune&pivots=azure-virtual-desktop).

57
+
### Standardized naming of selectable images in Azure Virtual Desktop is now available
58
+
59
+
Image naming is now consistent when selecting images from the dropdown menu. As all new images published are Gen2, we're dropping this post-fix from the display name in the Azure Virtual Desktop dropdowns and will only add Gen1 when it is required. The change doesn’t impact naming in the Azure Marketplace.
