Seamless SSO or at least a better user experience when using AADDS

The #1 complaint of users on AVD with AADDS is that there's no SSO. Upon first login each user has to authenticate to: Teams, OneDrive, Edge, Office (possibly 2-3 times because Microsoft broke SCA in recent builds), and also portal.office.com - at least 5x the same user/password that is already known and should pass through automagically.

In hybrid, you can easily enable Seamless SSO and it just works. I read somewhere this was in preview for AADDS but haven't found that article again to reference here.

Does anybody know of a workaround/solution? Or at least how to get into the preview?

Hey everyone, I've been following this as well, the link I've been checking is here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/authentication#single-sign-on-sso

Currently AVD only supports SSO via ADFS, but hopefully this link gives us a place to keep an eye on this.  Also with Azure AD join being available in NMM very soon, I'm sure we're all hoping for SSO, but  this is not a function of Azure AD joined AVD instances yet:

I'm running into this as well.  Right now I'm exploring hybrid join option for the session host.  Please keep us abreast of any progress you make.
