Hi team,

We are currently deploying new Teams via Admin managed way using Teams update policies. We updating the Teams update policy for Turning off preview features for Teams and setting "Use Teams Client" to "New Teams Only".

I want know what is the organisation wide impact (after upgrading to new teams) if we have "Enable automatic installation of new Microsoft Teams" check box is ticked under M365 Apps Admin Centre -> Customization > Device Configuration > Modern Apps Settings ->Microsoft Teams (work or school). 

Will "Enable automatic installation of new Microsoft Teams" option in M365 Apps Admin Centre take priority over the Teams Update Policies ? Will it force to upgrade laptop devices with new Teams client when MS release new client (i.e. 3.0) in future to release channels? 

What is the recommended setting (keep it ON or OFF) for "Enable automatic installation of new Microsoft Teams" option in M365 Apps Admin Centre?

Thanks
