• Teams QoS policies created in a GPO do not take effect until Group Policy refreshes on the client, which can be forced with gpupdate /force. in context
• On Windows, Teams DSCP markings are applied by OS QoS policy matching the executable ms-teams.exe and a source port range. The policy can be deployed through Intune (NetworkQoSPolicy CSP), PowerShell New-NetQosPolicy or Group Policy (Policy-based QoS). in context
• New Policy-based QoS GPOs for Teams do not take effect until Group Policy refreshes on the client; gpupdate /force run as administrator forces an immediate refresh. in context
• To verify an applied Teams QoS GPO, Microsoft says to check gpresult /R or /H output for the GPO under Applied Group Policy Objects and then inspect HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\QoS for the Application Name, DSCP Value and Local Port entries. in context
• The Intune Teams QoS configuration profile is a device policy, so its assignment groups must contain Windows devices rather than user accounts. in context
• Teams desktop clients on Windows get DSCP markings from an OS policy: the Intune NetworkQoSPolicy CSP, the New-NetQosPolicy PowerShell cmdlet, or Group Policy Policy-based QoS, each matching the executable ms-teams.exe and the source port range. in context
