Previously supporting Amazon WorkSpaces and several other cloud desktop providers, Amazon Connect now enables agents using Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 Cloud PC to take calls with enhanced audio routed directly to local devices. This requires a one-time IT setup to redirect media streams efficiently.

This update facilitates seamless integration of Amazon Connect's customer service platform with Microsoft's virtual desktop environments, optimizing audio performance and allowing agents to handle calls via Amazon's agent workspace or custom JavaScript interfaces. The feature is broadly available across AWS regions except GovCloud US-West.
