Running MS Teams in Kiosk Mode on a Windows 11 desktop

I have a Kiosk (Windows 11) where MS Teams needs to be autolaunched, I have set it up in Intune for the Kiosk Mode as follows:

 

 

 

I am not sure which one should I autolaunch here? 

Microsoft Teams or Microsoft Teams Autostart

 

Next, should I also have the Win32 App of MS Teams defined? If so there is an issue with the MS TEAMS installation location as it is not the location what I thought it was  "%localappdata%\Microsoft\Teams\Current\"

 

So, where is the path that MS TEAMS should be defined

 

 

Also, I am not sure where to find this in the article on the Microsoft forum that shows the location of MS Teams. I do not see anything like this on my computer: “C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\MSTeams_23272.2707.2453.769_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\ms-teams.exe”. Will this path keep changing with newer versions of Teams? If so, how do updates happen, and how does it work in Kiosk mode if a new version of Teams is installed? I hope I am clear in what I am trying to say here.

 

Launching Teams from Stream Deck / location of New Teams exe - Microsoft Community

 

The next issue I see is that configuration I modified and applied is showing as pending. How long does this take to be successful. I did a manual sync and multiple times through Intune on the device, but it still is in this state for more than 3 to 4 hours.

    I managed to get MS Teams auto starting using the AUMID method. You can run Get-StartApps in terminal and it will return the names and IDs for all the apps on the computer.

    The bit I am stuck on is getting the computer to autologin to the account that will run Teams.
