newly installed desktop PC with MS teams does not auto login

Question

looks like SSO is working for office apps (word, excel, PP, etc.. ) after the initial activation.

However, MS Teams and One Drive do Not auto login .

Does teams auto login by default using SSO?

How can i fix this?

Hi @dirkdigs

Teams auto login seems set by default. Teams SSO is when users can use a Microsoft Teams application with the same login they used when they signed into Microsoft Teams. The process is completely silent unless the application needs to ask the user to grant additional permissions.

For a longer explanation of SSO, please refer to this article: Let’s decode: Single Sign-on in Microsoft Teams tabs – Microsoft 365 Developer Blog and follow this Teams SSO tutorial on Microsoft Learn: Microsoft Teams – Authentication and Single Sign-on – Learn | Microsoft Docs

Hi @dirkdigs

If you are not automatically signed in to Teams, there may be some configuration issues that need to be addressed. Here are some things to check:

1. Ensure that SSO is enabled for Teams: SSO may need to be explicitly enabled for Teams in your identity provider settings. Check the documentation for your identity provider to see if there are any specific instructions for configuring SSO for Teams.
2. Verify that your user account is enabled for SSO: Ensure that your user account is enabled for SSO in your identity provider. You may need to check with your IT administrator to confirm this.
3. Check the Teams application settings: In the Teams application, go to the Settings menu (click on your profile picture in the top right corner) and select "About." Ensure that you have the latest version of Teams installed and that the "Use single sign-on" option is enabled.

As for OneDrive, it should also support SSO, but there may be some configuration issues that need to be addressed. Here are some things to check:

1. Ensure that SSO is enabled for OneDrive: SSO may need to be explicitly enabled for OneDrive in your identity provider settings. Check the documentation for your identity provider to see if there are any specific instructions for configuring SSO for OneDrive.
2. Verify that your user account is enabled for SSO: Ensure that your user account is enabled for SSO in your identity provider. You may need to check with your IT administrator to confirm this.
3. Check the OneDrive application settings: In the OneDrive application, go to the Settings menu (click on your profile picture in the top right corner) and select "Options." Ensure that you have the latest version of OneDrive installed and that the "Use single sign-on" option is enabled.

If you have checked these settings and are still experiencing issues with SSO in Teams or OneDrive, you may need to contact your IT administrator for further assistance.
