Microsoft Teams by default will Auto-Start when you sign into a computer.
To Disable the MS Teams Auto-Start per computer:
- Login to the computer
- Wait for Microsoft Teams to load
- Towards the top-right corner of the Microsoft Teams window, click the ... icon beside your Initials, then click Settings
- In the Settings window, scroll down the right hand screen to the "Application" section and remove the checkmark beside "Auto-start application",
- Optional: If you wish, you may choose to remove the checkmark beside "On close, keep the application running". This means that if Teams does open, closing will fully exit the program instead of letting it continue to run in the computer background.
- Optional: If you wish, you may choose to remove the checkmark beside "On close, keep the application running". This means that if Teams does open, closing will fully exit the program instead of letting it continue to run in the computer background.
- Close Teams. The next time you login to the computer, Teams should not open for you.
PLEASE NOTE:
- This is a per-computer user setting, so if you use multiple campus computers, you will need to perform this step (only once) on each computer you use.
- Turing MS Teams off from auto-starting will not affect the settings of any other user who logs onto the same classroom or office computer. A second user will need to disable the auto-start themselves using the same steps above it they wish.
