True, although my company has standardised on the use of Microsoft Teams for holding meetings and general communication. As such, we've made it available for staff to install on their own computers or devices. So, what have a lot of our users done, despite us making videos and holding multiple training sessions telling users how to do this?
Yep, they log in to our remote desktop system, then use Teams on there. All of a sudden, the load on our network connection goes up exponentially.
To explain the extra load. If a user logs on to teams with their own computer, my company's infrastructure is not involved at all beyond the initial authentication (and I don't know how involved it is in that). If they log in to remote desktop, they consume one of our Remote Desktop licences, then are transferring potentially many megabytes of data as mouse/keyboard inputs to their virtual desktop are transferred to the server, and the results are transferred back.
