passthru from Ubuntu

[markf1301]

Hello.

Everyone but me uses Windows at work and I utilize both. I'm comfortable with having to use the Ubuntu for most of my stuff and that includes the browser side for the Windows side like email, word/excel and Teams. That said, I have to utilize Teams alot to share desktops and tools which makes it kind of clunky due to the fact that MS isn't really doing much, that I can find - to support their Teams Linux client. I'm trying to find a way to enable the default mic and camera as well as the sound so that I can connect to the VM and do meetings from the 'windows' side but still maintain Ubuntu locally. The sound, by enabling it it on the Remmina side passes thru w/o issues. Any idea if I can pass thru the camera and mic as well? Here's the basic config below.

I'm using Ubuntu Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS locally and I have a proxmox server running 8.2.2. I also have a windows 10 machine as a vm that I use for work. The VM was a 'move over' from when I had another platform as my hosted environment but has 4 cores and 16Gb of ram. Most of everything else is 'std' like video, hdd, etc.

If there's any suggestions, thoughts or info needed from - please let me know.

I am also using QEMU locally and have a local windows machine also but haven't tried any configurations for my 'local' environment if someone thinks that might be a better solutions or approach to this.

Windows is not necessary for Teams. Teams works normally on (K)ubuntu, just like in Windows itself. I have been using it for a good two years on Kubuntu 22.04. Teams is also available via Snap, but that often didn't work well. That's why we added the DEB package to our repository. I always keep that updated. So a Windows VM is not necessary for teams. BTW: Onedrive also works well under Linux.

I haven't tried Kubuntu but have rather been using the 'default' Gnome interface. Is that a hard change to make 'locally' if I wanted to test? I can't get the one-drive to work because my machine isn't part of our domain - and have set it that way within our environment (for security purposes).

Yes, if the computer is not a member of the domain, then it will be difficult with OneDrive. Teams work without to join to the domain (normally). And of course it also works with Gnome. Teams is desktop-independent.
