How to Prevent Teams from Auto-Launch

Hi chenrylee

AFAIK, not currently possible. Whilst you can script it or have a user uncheck it in the settings it does not occur by default

There are multiple uservoices of disabling the start up option, such as this

There is one here to turn off autostart for the entire tenant which may be closer to what you need.

If these don't cover exactly what you need I would raise this as a new uservoice. To note however, it could be some time to get picked up and really, I think the general desire from organisations to use Teams is more to have autostart on by default rather than off

Hope that answers your question!

Best, Chris
