Install Teams for more than one Windows account

Question

Hi friends,

I have a PC with Windows 10 and three local user accounts: one administrator and two standard users.

I notice when I installed Teams using the admin account, the installed software was not available to the other accounts on the same computer. The shortcut to start Teams even wasn't placed on Start Menu and the Teams' files were placed on a user folder instead a folder inside Program Files.

Is it possible to install Teams only one time using the admin account and the other users can use the software automatically, like other softwares when I install them?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Alan Carvalho

Hi
Microsoft provides 32-bit, 64-bit, and ARM64 MSI files that you can use to bulk deploy Microsoft Teams to select users and computers. MSI files can be used with Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, Group Policy, or third-party distribution software, to deploy Teams to your organization. This is a pre-installation of Team on your computer using a Team Wide Installer, but that version loads Team in the user profile for installation. It is not a local computer installation.

Hi @ALAN CARVALHO

You can try the following:

1) Download Teams 64 bit (MSI installer):

https://aka.ms/teams64bitmsi

2) Open Command Prompt as Administrator:

Type msiexec /i "C:\path\to\Teams_windows_x64.msi" ALLUSERS=1 > Press Enter
