Multimedia redirection (MMR) gives you smooth video playback while watching videos in your Azure Virtual Desktop browser. Multimedia redirection remotes the media content from the browser to the local machine for faster processing and rendering. Both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome support the multimedia redirection feature. However, the public preview version of multimedia redirection for Azure Virtual Desktop has restricted playback on sites in the "Known Sites" list. To test sites on the list within your organization's deployment, you'll need to [enable an extension](multimedia-redirection.md#managing-group-policies-for-the-multimedia-redirection-browser-extension).
