How to Prevent Teams from Auto-Launch
Hi guys, I plan to deploy Teams in my company, and there's a headache. I don't want Teams auto launches when system starts, and when I install it, I use this script: msiexec /i "%temp%\Teams_w...

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.
https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/33922291-disbale-autostart-in-teams-app-for-the-entire-tena
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

If you want it on demand, you might as well just use the web client version :)

What a ridiculous suggestion. People use their computer the way they want. You're just as bad as those who ask "Why would you want to do that???" Because I have a want or requirement to do so!! I personally believe NOTHING should auto-start. Do you want all office application to auto-start? If not, then you should just use the web version...right?? with this mind-set; just use a Chrome Book, that way everything is the web version. please.......just because you like something, that doesn't mean everyone else is wrong.
