Is there any need or benefit of deploying the updated commercial Teams Machine-Wide Installer on a regular basis in a domain environment since the Teams app checks for updates no matter what version Teams Machine-Wide Installer? Is there a best practice for Teams Machine-Wide Installer updates?

    Hello, SS7659

    I am Igor, an Independent Advisor and I will be glad to help you with this question.

    Admins can remotely deploy Teams so that users do not have to manually download the Teams app. When deployed, Teams will auto launch for all users who sign in on that machine.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams...

    The client will auto update when it detects a new version is available from the service. To re-deploy the latest installer use the process of redeploying MSI described below. If you deploy an older version of the MSI package, the client will auto-update (except in VDI environments) when possible for the user. If a very old version gets deployed, the MSI will trigger an app update before the user is able to use Teams.

    To more information:

    Hope it helps.

    Best Regards
