- Hi Shawn Beckers
As per the docs articles it is recommended to install it via the shell session. Run as administrator and then
Install-Module MicrosoftTeams -RequiredVersion "1.1.6"
You could download the .nupkg file from the Powershell Gallery, get it onto the machine via removable media or cloud storage, then use a combination of the docs articles together with videos such as this to extrapolate how to install manually

Thanks for the suggestion ChrisHoardMVP. Unfortunately the process demoed in YouTube video, copying the module from one machine to another, doesn't seem to work for the latest Teams PS module. Our security team is currently rejecting my request to allow the machines which would use the module to have access to the PowerShell repository required for installation. Since I only require a few of the commands this module provides I guess I'll look at using the Graph API instead.

For sure. Graph - or, another way around since I myself am not allowed to install modules on my local machine for exactly the same reasons, is to spin up a VM on Azure and do it that way.
