Teams for Mac start minimized
The 'run in background' option from Windows is not there and the Hide tick box in users does nothing.
How the hell can I make it run in background on startup? Such a simple feature and it's not there!
Thanks

I had this too but fixed by:
1. Launch Teams
2. Right-click the Teams icon in the Dock
3 Select [Options > Open at Login]
This will create a 2nd entry for Teams in the [System > Users & Groups > {Your_profile} > Login Items] list which you will need to also select "Hide"Weird but works
Correction: Seems the Hide at login checkbox of the second Teams entry won't stay checked. BROKEN 😞
Not an option at the moment I'm afraid and Mac features do trickle out more slowly as a rule. There is a user voice for it though - https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/37916056-open-application-in-background-for-mac
