Amazing! Could you share the entire command and also give a reference to the documentation where you found the allowable arguments?

would it be - "[path to msteams.exe] msteams:/l/teams" for example to make it open to the "Teams" app ?

I'm having trouble finding the path. What is the path to teams.exe?

And what are all the allowed arguments - in particular - to open to the "Teams" app and/or a specific channel?

That is the full command line that I used.  I created my shortcut from the Desktop as follows:

In "Type the location of the item" I pasted "msteams:/l/calendar" and saved

I didn't put the full path.  Windows seems to be reconciling that on its own.

I don't remember where I found this but from what I remember this was the only argument the site listed.  I'm sure there are others, but this resolved my problem so I was happy.
