Install or Deploy Microsoft Teams — LazyAdmin
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support. Watch the following session to learn about the benefits of the Windows Desktop Client, how to plan for it and how to deploy it: Teams Windows Desktop Client.
Bulk deployments are useful because users don’t need to download and install the Teams client manually. Rather, Teams will be deployed to computers and then auto-launch the first time users sign into a computer. We recommend that you deploy the package to computers rather than a specific user. By targeting computers, all new users of those computers will benefit from this deployment. Teams can also be distributed to your organization as part of Microsoft Apps for enterprise.
Download the MSI that you want to install on computers in your organization. The x86 architecture bit or bit Teams supports is independent of other Office apps installed on a computer.
If you have bit computers, we recommend installing the bit Teams MSI even if the computer is running a bit version of Office. Install the bit version of Teams only on bit operating systems.
If you try to install the bit version of Teams on a bit operating system, the installation won’t be successful and you won’t receive an error message. MSI files can’t be used to deploy updates. The Teams client will auto-update when it detects a new version is available from the service.
To re-deploy the latest installer, use the process of redeploying MSI described below. If you deploy an older version of the MSI file, the client will auto-update except in VDI environments when possible for the user. If a very old version gets deployed, the MSI will trigger an app update before the user is able to use Teams.
We don’t recommended that you change the default install locations as this could break the update flow. Having too old a version will eventually block users from accessing the service. Make sure the computers you install Teams on meeting the requirements listed in Hardware requirements for Microsoft Teams.
If a user uninstalls Teams from their user profile, the MSI installer will track that the user has uninstalled the Teams app and no longer install Teams for that user profile.
To redeploy Teams for this user on a particular computer where it was uninstalled, do the following:. The next steps contain information about how to modify the registry. Make sure that you back up the registry before you modify it and that you know how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up, restore, and modify the registry, see Windows registry information for advanced users. You can also use our Teams deployment clean up script to complete steps 1 and 2.
The default behavior of the MSI is to install the Teams app as soon as a user signs in and then automatically start Teams. If you don’t want Teams to start automatically for users after it’s installed, you can use Group Policy to set a policy setting or disable auto launch for the MSI installer. Enable the Prevent Microsoft Teams from starting automatically after installation Group Policy setting. This is the recommended method because you can turn off or turn on the policy setting according to your organization’s needs.
When you enable this policy setting before Teams is installed, Teams doesn’t start automatically when users log in to Windows.
After a user signs in to Teams for the first time, Teams starts automatically the next time the user logs in. To learn more, see Use Group Policy to prevent Teams from starting automatically after installation. If you’ve already deployed Teams and want to set this policy to disable Teams autostart, first set the Group Policy setting to the value you want, and then run the Teams autostart reset script on a per-user basis.
Teams won’t start until the user manually starts Teams. After the user manually starts Teams, Teams automatically starts whenever the user logs in.
All users can then uninstall Teams if they have admin credentials on the computer. If you run the MSI manually, be sure to run it with elevated permissions. Even if you run it as an administrator, without running it with elevated permissions, the installer won’t be able to configure the option to disable auto start.

Microsoft MSI Installers now available for Microsoft Teams – Tom Talks
Both versions install but there is no clear instruction from MS as to what version would be recommended. Thanks, Dan. I think either will work, but I would go 64 bit if you have a 64 bit OS. There is an outlook plugin for Teams, but I think either will work. Teams is also not running on login either even though the Run key is present.
Anyone facing these issues? I am having a similar thing occur in my environment where we also use Software Restriction Policy. I have tried but with little success. Especially in an environment folder redirection and roaming profiles. Is MS really that stupid when it comes to this?
They give us a MSI but it is nerfed. We also are in a mess because we have used the regular EXE installer, the machine-wide MSI installer, the VDI installer manual and SCCM and even the Office Apps install to deploy Teams, sometimes more than one install method on the same machine which can break the automatic updating! It would be great to have a removal and cleanup script that handles all those install methods and all the locations it can get itself into AppData, Program Files, ProgramData and registry , so we can get back to a blank page and start a fresh deployment using only one method.
Do you or any of your readers like this challenge? I working with Terminal Server with a lot of users that installed Microsoft Teams. I looking for remover script to uninstall Microsoft teams from all location that needed. I think you will need to take a look a PowerShell to remove all the files.

Teams ships monthly and if the repository was installed correctly, then your system package manager should handle auto-updating in the same way as other packages on the system. The Teams mobile apps are available for Android and iOS, and are geared for on-the-go users participating in chat-based conversations and allow peer-to-peer audio calls.
Android : Support is limited to the last four major versions of Android. When a new major version of Android is released, the new version and the previous three versions are officially supported. When a new major version of iOS is released, the new version of iOS and the previous version are officially supported.
Distribution of the mobile apps via MDM or side-loading is not supported by Microsoft. Once the mobile app has been installed on a supported mobile platform, the Teams Mobile App itself will be supported provided the version is within three months of the current release.
The browser client supports Calling and Meetings by using webRTC, so there is no plug-in or download required to run Teams in a browser.
The browser must be configured to allow third-party cookies. Teams fully supports the following Internet browsers, with noted exceptions for calling and meetings. This table applies to operating systems running on desktop computers. Control isn’t supported when either party is running Teams in a browser. This is due to a technical limitation that we’re planning to fix.
This feature is only available in the Teams desktop client. For example, running Firefox on the Linux operating system is an option for using Teams.
