Disable startup option
Like Skype, it would be great if there was a setup option to not start on Windows Startup. Reason being, when on laptop, do not want lots of applications running that I dont need when on battery power. Saves time and frustration to not have these applications autostart. I can start them when I need them but not before.

Microsoft 2 years later...
Please continue to express your feedback on uservoice.OK... No program should auto-start without explicit permission from the end user.
And admins should have control on such a basic functionality.If it doesn't happen in 2020 when Microsoft is pushing Teams left and right due to an increase in "work from home", what chance do we have?

it looks like malware, it behaves like malware... well... teams is just malware. unfortunately, my university requires that for meetings. i hope the GDPR will destroy this piece of malware at least in the EU. microshit, go and die. this teams crap not only segfaults in the background (which opens doors to any attacker), no, its impossible to stop it from adding it to autostart on LINUX!

By DEFAULT, Microsoft Teams SHOULD NOT be started automatically on Linux!
I wonder what other Microsoft-knows-better-than-you things are hidden in Teams.Shame on you, Microsoft team.

For Linux Lite:
Menu>Session and Startup>
Click the "Application Autostart" Menu
Uncheck "Microsoft Teams" -

It's been two years. As much as I agree with this, I think we're all going to have to let it go or figure out how to uninstall it without uninstalling the other Office programs.

Would also make me feel better, if I know I can trust an application to only listen on the mic or use the camera, when **I** need it... From me experience using Teams it feels like Lock-in-ware and like spy-ware. Not comfortable. Unfortunately kids require it for school. Makes me feel even more uncomfortable... Why can't MS make any unintrusive software?

And even the teams application on Linux starts on login, WTF? The reason people move to NON MS platforms is because you do really annoying things and don';t listen to the users. OPT IN to auto start up, don't just do it, ya ain't nike.
Seriously it's a company wide issue with MS, pop-ups, auto start, dialogs all over the joint that steal input and hide behind windows.... I could go on, but that would be a rant.

Another good reason for this, is sometimes I'm on my laptop working from home or the road and need to stay focused and get work done, but I don't want everyone else in the company seeing me as online and available.

We deploy all applications using SCCM, so we need command line switches to turn off the autostart behavior during install especially if its getting enabled by default.I can't believe were supposed to rely on Group policy to control this behavior, when a command line switch would do. Application teams don't always have control over group policy. Auto-start should only be enabled when the user wants it, and it should be controlled at the time of install without relying on group policy.

For my scenario, auto start isn't necessarily an issue for our users. I find it annoying when it pops up every time I login to a machine that I'm setting up for a user. I don't think I should have to login to the application with my personal office credentials just to disable the auto start option.

Please have an option for not auto-starting MS Teams on each device for each user - this is causing huge frustration for our business!

I use Teams at work, but my home PC is not authorized to access corporate assets, so I don't want Teams launched on my personal PC, which shares a work/home subscription.

It seems as though this is a real concern (auto launching at start up). From what I am reading, people are not favoring the auto launch. I too am frustrated. I don't need/want applications running when I don't need them. I also don't need the hassle of having stop my log in process to close a program that I wasn't even trying to use. How can I make this stop?
