Check HDX media optimization

A value of disabled (0) will check to see if Lync (Skype for Business) or Teams is running to determine if Zoom can allocate HID devices. If either process is running, Zoom does not attempt to take control of HID devices. If the value is set to enabled (1), the check is to determine if HDX Media Optimization is active (using HID devices). If not, Zoom takes control of HID support. These options to force HID redirection are provided for evaluation in 5.10.6. A default value for this option will be determined for a future release. Enabled (1): Check if “HDX media optimization” is active and, if it is, do not force HID redirection. Disabled (0): Check if Skype for Business or Teams are running (the “lync.exe” process is running) and do not force HID redirection if they are.
