Hi Syed Javed76,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Yes, there is a machine-wide installer for Microsoft Teams. It's specifically designed for IT administrators to easily deploy Teams across multiple users on a single shared computer, or throughout an organization's fleet of devices.

Here’s how it works:

For the New Microsoft Teams Client (Recommended):

Microsoft provides a lightweight executable called teamsbootstrapper.exe . This is the preferred method for deploying the latest Teams client.
Online Deployment: You can run it with administrator privileges, and it will download the most current Teams MSIX package from Microsoft:

Run with admin privileges using the command:

teamsbootstrapper.exe -p

Offline Deployment: It also supports deploying using a pre-downloaded MSIX package, which is useful in environments with restricted internet access.
Automatic Updates: Once installed, the Teams application itself automatically updates per user whenever a new version is released by Microsoft.

For Classic Teams (using MSI files):

MSI (Windows Installer) files are available for 32-bit, 64-bit, and ARM64 architectures. These are typically used for organizations still on classic Teams or with specific deployment requirements.
Download from Microsoft’s official page: Bulk install Teams using Windows Installer (MSI)

For reference:
