- What it is
- Microsoft's guide to how a local microphone and speakers are passed into a remote session over the Remote Desktop Protocol, and which session-host and host-pool settings control it.
- How much weight it carries
- Official Microsoft documentation for Azure Virtual Desktop. It covers session hosts and host pools, not every Remote Desktop client, so the settings for other remote tools may differ.
Facts taken from this source
- Microsoft says audio recording redirection controls whether a microphone is accessible to apps in a remote session, so a remote app cannot use your local microphone unless that redirection is allowed.
“Audio recording redirection controls whether you want to allow peripherals such as a microphone to be accessible in the remote session.” (Configure audio capture redirection)
