Administrative template files (ADMX/ADML) for the new version of Microsoft Teams

Copper Contributor

Hi, I’m trying to see if administrative template files exist for the new version of Teams yet. Does anyone know if they exist? I want to disable the new version of Teams from auto-startup globally. I have the policy applied on the old version of Teams, but have not been able to locate the policy for the new version. I was able to find the registry entry and disable auto-startup from there, but would like to have the ADMX/ADML for the group policy's.

Prevent Microsoft Teams from starting automatically after installation
This policy setting controls whether Microsoft Teams starts automatically when the user logs into a device after Teams is installed.

If you enable this policy setting, Teams does not start automatically when the user logs in to the device and the user has not started Teams previously.

Note: If you enable this policy setting, you must do so before Teams is installed.

Once a user starts Teams for the first time, Teams is configured to start automatically the next time the user logs into the device.

If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, Teams automatically starts when a user logs in to the device after Teams is installed.

Note: The user can configure Teams not to start automatically by configuring user settings within Teams.

Supported on: At least Windows 7
