Need to disable automatic updates for the Teams MSX app

Question

Is there a way to disable automatic updates for the Teams MSX app, deployed via the teamsbootstrapper.exe? Is there a registry key I could set that would do this?

Answer 1

Hi @DavidLowe-0432

Normally, Teams doesn't give admins the ability to deploy updates through any delivery mechanism.

But, Teams clients on Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) aren't automatically updated the way that non-VDI Teams clients are. You have to update the VM image by installing a new MSI as described in the instructions to Install Teams on VDI. You must uninstall the current version to update to a newer version.
