Note that in my example I have selected “Record from this computer”. This is not the default setting and is the reason some users may not be able to use headset microphones when using RDP to access Teams, WebEx, Skype, or other teleconferencing utilities over an RDP/RDC session. Clicking “OK” does not reset the default, so this setting much be checked prior to each RDP/RDC session. This may be common knowledge for the CSC already, but in case not I wanted to make sure the knowledge was shared. If you think it would be worthwhile to build a KB with these instructions I would be happy to do so.


Very truly yours,
