Hello,
I am attempting to use tinypilot through an azure virtual desktop (AVD) connection, but the keyboard is not passing through to the tinypilot browser page. In my AVD setup the virtual machine that is serving the bowser that I am using, is connected to my on-premise network via a VPN tunnel. I am able to reach the tinypilot browser page through AVD, and the mouse and virtual keyboard work, but anything I type on the keyboard is not received by the tinypilot -- I just see letters and commands that I type being displayed at the bottom of the webpage.
Is there anything server/vm side that would be preventing the pass thru of my keyboard to the tinypilot via the browser? I do not experience this issue when I am on prem; just when connecting via the azure virtual desktop. Any help you could provide on this matter would be much appreciated.

Seems like I was able to resolve this issue by changing the RDP properties of my host pool in AVD. The fix was allowing USB device redirection. Here is the exact setting - "Redirect all USB devices that are not already redirected by another high-level redirection"

Ok, now I believe I've figured it out. In the AVD settings, you must Enable Input Method Editor. I don't know why this is the case, but it is the secret to making the keyboard function through the Azure Virtual Desktop RD gateway. Here is the detail of the "Enable Input Method Editor" - "Use an input method editor to enter complex characters. You must have an Input Method Editor enabled in your remote session. Standard keyboard input may not work as expected"
