🚨AVD Update: Redirection Defaults are Changing!

A major change is coming to Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) that every administrator needs to know. In this video, we walk through Microsoft’s upcoming update where device redirections—like clipboard, drive, USB, and printer—will be disabled by default for all new host pools. If you’re used to these just working out of the box, this change could impact your deployment strategy.

We’ll explore why Microsoft is making this change as part of their Secure Future Initiative, what it means for your existing vs. new host pools, and how you can prepare. We’ll also demonstrate where to find and configure the redirection settings in the Azure Portal, and highlight best practices to keep your AVD environment secure and functional. Don’t get caught off guard—watch now to stay ahead! #AVD #RDP #Redirection
