No, in fact we would advise you against connecting to the VDS when participating in any type of video call.
You will get a far better experience by connecting the Webex or MS Teams directly from your home machine.
Tip: If you need to share documents on your online meeting, make sure you save these in SharePoint or OneDrive so you can access them via Office 365.
