0 (Default) - Check if Microsoft Teams is installed. If installed, Zoom will share access for HID device. 1 - Do not check for Microsoft Teams and automatically utilize and not share the HID device. Supported in VDI Client 6.3.10 and higher as well as 6.1.16 and 6.2.12 hotfixes and is specific to VDI Client only. Check HID device control - checks conditions before enabling HID for Zoom VDI Client. The purpose of this flag is to let Zoom VDI Client share HID devices with other applications. Prior to this policy, the Zoom VDI client would always give up control from HID device in case it detected other competitive meeting apps (ex. MS Teams VDI 2.0) would be running in parallel in VM machine. When this policy is enabled (this is set to 1), the Zoom VDI client can share HID devices with other application (MS Teams VDI 2.0). This policy will only toggle HID share control only with MS Teams VDI 2.0. This policy will have no effect on MS Teams 1.0 or Skype For Business
