The answer to this one is no, you cannot.
With SfB there used to be BToE (Better Together over Ethernet) to do the auto logon amongst other features, but this is not part of Teams.
However, if you logon to, for instance, your desktop phone; you can select it to auto lock when you are not close to it, and auto-unlock when you are. This is done using BToBT (Better Together over Bluetooth). Simply pair your teams client with the desktop one, or with your mobile phone, and select auto lock. Works like a charm 🙂

hey DwightShrute,
There are really no settings for this. You simply should be able to log into devices while logged in on your desktop(s). However, one setting in your organization that could be relevant is the Number of devices per user. you can find this in AAD >> Devices >> Device settings.
on the same page, you can disable MFA for device logons, which again can simplify life 😉
All this being said, a company could use conditional access rules to prevent you from doing the above, so make sure to verify no conditional access policy is actively blocking you.
