Hello Everyone! We have both classic and new teams installed in our AVD environment, Win11 Multisession. Since we have updated our AVD machines with the new image, we noticed that it does not have t...
Hi Axel,
Thank you for your response! It looks like I came to your response a little late. I already found the solution with this link, which has the script that you can directly deploy to install the addin.

With the latest Teams versions, they got rid of those registries and made it simpler with one. The above link will give you more information.
But I'm very happy to get so many helps on this topic. Thank you, Axel and everyone. I truly appreciate all your help. <3

Hello,
I had the same issue, and here’s how I fixed it:
On your master image:
1. Create the following registry keys:
New-Item -Path “HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins” -Name “TeamsAddin.FastConnect” -Force -ErrorAction Ignore
New-ItemProperty -Path “HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\TeamsAddin.FastConnect” -Type “DWord” -Name “LoadBehavior” -Value 3 -force
New-ItemProperty -Path “HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\TeamsAddin.FastConnect” -Type “String” -Name “Description” -Value “Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office” -force
New-ItemProperty -Path “HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\TeamsAddin.FastConnect” -Type “String” -Name “FriendlyName” -Value “Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office” -force
2. Reinstall the ‘Teams Meeting Add-in’ in “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\TeamsMeetingAddin\”
You can find the program in “C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\MSTeams_24277.3507.3205.5228_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe”
3. Execute this PowerShell script via GPO:
# Define the necessary file paths.
$regsvr32Path = "C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe"
$dllPath = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\TeamsMeetingAddin\1.24.25702.0\x64\Microsoft.Teams.AddinLoader.dll"
# Run the command to register the DLL.
Start-Process -FilePath $regsvr32Path -ArgumentList "/n /s /i:user `"$dllPath`"" -NoNewWindow -Wait
Write-Output "DLL successfully registered."

try { $params = '/qn /x "{0}"' -f $TMAPath Start-Process msiexec.exe -ArgumentList $params } catch{ write-host "Error uninstalling Teams Meeting Addin. Most likely it is not installed in current users context." }I know it is not very pretty but it works.
But now it works and deployment of session hosts works with the Teams Meeting add-in present to users.
Thank you, Chris, for your response! We are not using a custom image / golden image. So it's a live environment with MS gallery image. But I'll make a note of your script for any future requirements. Appreciate it :)
