Looks like the marketing department of Citrix invested a lot of effort to spread the word that VMware Horizon is not certified by Microsoft to run Teams. Is that really so? Something we did for a long time for Skype for Business. As companies are shifting to Teams we are shifting as well.

The truth is VMware solution is not yet certified but does it really matter? Teams is application as any other — it will run on Horizon virtual desktop. What you need to do is run a machine-wide installer, which will install Teams normally to Program Files folder.

How to do it is fairly simple described in Microsoft documentation. Download the MSI installer and run this silent installation command:. Since the Horizon client 5.

We also have the steps you can take to exclude Teams from new or existing installations of Microsoft Apps if your organization isn't ready to deploy Teams. Instead, you need to install Teams by using the separate MSI-based installer.

The date when Teams starts being installed with new installations of Microsoft Apps depends on which update channel you're using. The following table shows the schedule. Or, as an alternative, you can let Teams be installed, but use Group Policy to prevent Teams from automatically starting when the user signs in to the device.

If you want to use the Office Deployment Tool , you can use the ExcludeApp element in your configuration. Instead of using a text editor to create your configuration. The OCT provides a web-based interface for making your selections and creating your configuration. For more information, see Overview of the Office Customization Tool. If you're letting your users install Microsoft Apps for themselves from the Office portal, you can't exclude Teams from being included as part of the installation, unless you use Group Policy.

If you previously installed Teams separately from installing Microsoft Apps, you might see multiple instances of Teams Machine-Wide Installer. You can also use PowerShell to remove Teams as shown in this script sample. Teams is also being added to existing installations of Microsoft Apps on devices running Windows as part of the normal update process. There is no change to existing installations of Mac. Whether Teams gets added to an existing installation of Microsoft Apps is determined by what version is installed, what version you're updating to, and some other factors.

Version that was released in Current Channel in July is the first version that started including Teams as part of the update process. But not all devices updating to Version or later have received Teams as part of the update process because the rollout has been a gradual process over several months.

So if you've updated a device to the latest version of Microsoft Apps, but Teams hasn't been installed, that is probably expected and not necessarily an error. It's likely a future update will install Teams. If you're updating your existing installation of Microsoft Apps to Version Build To complete the installation of Teams after the update, either restart the device or have the user log off and log back on. The date when Teams can start being added to existing installations of Microsoft Apps depends on which update channel you're using.

If you don't want Teams to be added to existing installations of Microsoft Apps when you update to a newer version, you can use Group Policy or the Office Deployment Tool. Or, as an alternative, you can let Teams be added, but use Group Policy to prevent Teams from automatically starting when the user signs in to the device. The following is a configuration.

Also, in some situations, doing an Online Repair results in Teams being installed. For example, if Microsoft Apps is configured to get updates from the Office Content Delivery Network CDN and the update channel or version you're using includes Teams as part of the installation. If your organization isn't ready to deploy Teams and you use Group Policy, you can enable the Don't install Microsoft Teams with new installations or updates of Office policy setting.

If you enable this policy setting, Teams won't be installed in the following scenarios for Version or later:. If you want Teams to be installed, but don't want Teams to start automatically for the user after it's installed, you can use Group Policy and enable the Prevent Microsoft Teams from starting automatically after installation policy setting.

By enabling this policy setting before Teams is installed , Teams won't start automatically when the user logs in to the device. Once a user signs in to Teams for the first time, Teams is configured to start automatically the next time the user logs into the device. The user can configure Teams to not start automatically by configuring user settings within Teams or by clearing the Open Teams on startup check box on the sign in screen for Teams.

If you've already installed Teams but you want to use this policy setting to prevent Teams from starting automatically, enable this policy setting and then run this script on a per-user basis to reset the autostart setting for Teams. But even if you enable this policy setting so that Teams doesn't start automatically, an icon for Microsoft Teams will appear on the user's desktop.

If devices in your organization are shared by multiple users, be aware that Teams is installed separately for each user that signs into that device. Installations of Teams average about mb, so hard disk space, as well network bandwidth for updates, might become an issue for these shared devices installed with Teams. In cases where shared devices are used by a significant number of users, you might want to consider not installing Teams on those shared devices. After Teams is installed, it's automatically updated approximately every two weeks with new features and quality updates.

This update process for Teams is different than the update process for the other Office apps, such as Word and Excel. For more information, see Teams update process.
