Make Teams for Mac available in App Store/VPP
I love that OneNote is available in the Mac App Store, and it'd be great if Teams were too since it's also free. Deploying, updating and generally managing VPP apps is much simpler than having to package manually etc. This would make deploying Teams to our Mac departments much easier.

We are looking into making Teams available in the Apple Volume Purchase Program, which may also include Mac App Store. We will post an update here when it’s available.

Yes - we need this too. Bring Teams into the App Store on Mac.

Yes, please. Teams native notifications for Mac just now rolled out progressively (July 2021) so I know I'm not the only one who's greatly looking forward to more granular control and stability.

Agreed. Word, Excel, OneNote, Powerpoint, Outlook are already there, and managing those is easy. Teams is currently a pain.

Agreed. Company Portal should be deployed through VPP also!

Please add Teams to the App Store/VPP. It will make life so much easier for MDM Admins.

This is a must have for organizations that use MDM for application deployment

Would be very helpful to have the Teams app available through the store for VPP like the rest of the Office apps on Mac.

Would be awesome to be able to update and install this app automatically using Apple Volume Purchasing program and Mobile Device Management. Currently creating and installing an App Package for teams is a pain.

Especially since updating Teams requires Admin rights, which means our staff can't self-update without us adding it to our deployment packages.

Agreed. I have to keep finding the file I downloaded and effectively reinstalling the app each time I want to open it, clicking through messages about applications downloaded from the internet.
It works ok, but could be slicker and I'd like it in my Launchpad.
