Since Teams comes in multiple variants (per-user, per-machine x86 and per-machine 圆4) we’ve tried to cater for all versions. Upon further investigation their deployment script hacks it out of the ‘Run’ registry key: reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v Teams /fīecause of this, we decided to create a login script (a note on running PowerShell login scripts) to configure the aforementioned settings and also launch Teams afterwards. Just a note before we continue, is that the organisation we’re currently working with have disabled Teams from automatically launching due to not wanting it to take over the desktop when it launches. So we need to configure them via PowerShell instead. Unfortunately at the time of writing, Microsoft haven’t provided an ADMX template to configure these settings via Group Policy. ![]() I’ve done some debugging and found that these configurations are stored in a JSON file located here: %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Teams\desktop-config.json Launch Microsoft Teams Minimised in System Tray But from a deployment perspective we can’t ask all users to manually check this box, and so we need to think of how we can automate this configuration. Luckily in the latest version of Microsoft Teams, there is an option in Settings to ‘open application in the background’. Then choose the Window you want to restore from there. To restore a window, you can use Alt+F2, or right-click on the app’s tray icon seen here. Press Alt + F1 and that window will minimize to the tray. ![]() Switch to whichever window you’d like to minimize to the tray. The general consensus is that launching Teams in full screen mode is too invasive when users first log in to their desktop session. Run the program from its folder or from a shortcut you’ve created. I’ve seen multiple Reddit posts, Microsoft posts and ‘User Voice’ posts requesting the ability to launch Microsoft Teams minimised in the system tray.
