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.

No program should auto-start without explicit permission from the end user!!!
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?

I have still got teams starting up even though i have uninstalled it twice. I think its ridiculous that it is shoved in your face every time the laptop is turned on. The whole office have voiced their annoyance and will never use it. Will go out of my way to never use it too as it is so ridiculous that you have no choice to turn it off.

Absolutely ridiculous that we cannot disable autostart. We previously used teams, which received constant criticism from our users before migrating to Slack and this continuous autostart is confusing users.

We only use Office 365 for the Office suite. We don't use it for Teams, Email, Sharepoint, etc. Everytime I uninstall Teams it reinstalls itself. If I'm stuck with it, than there should be an option to not start upon start up.

I just got off the phone with MS tech who was trying to get feedback on this product - I've stated to him multiple times - unless you provide an option to disable the start up, we are NEVER going to use this product
We will gladly pay a premium for Slack since it does not do this. I'm considering pushing a policy to all machines to block this application from installation due to your misguided approach to force this software on all users.
Best of luck with the class action suit that's pending -

Echo what everyone here is saying...give the user the option to start or not start a program.

ESPECIALLY for users who have the Teams access turned off!
I have users with teams switched to "off"--and STILL when they sign in to portal they get an install file that includes teams and boots up every startup to a program they shouldn't even be able to use per our specifications.It is absolutely disgusting how little consistency or intelligence comes from such a profitable company. The only thing they're consistent at is providing options to manage their software that don't even work or become overridden, but still left there useless to give the impression that they still work (windows update service settings). Their agenda of pushing their endless list of bells-and-whistles products is always 50x more important than their paying customers' needs and issues being addressed by anything more than a manual, one-at-a-time workaround that comes off as a measly shrug. Downright sickening.
