tis-microsoft-teams

[Gaelds]

Hello, I'm using the tis-microsoft-teams package but I can't find a way to make the "Open in background" option checked by default. This is very inconvenient for teachers who project their screens, as their conversations are displayed in front of the students! The desktop-config.json files on my machines contain "openAsHidden:false" despite the line "json_config_content["appPreferenceSettings"]["openAsHidden"] = True" in session-setup.

Hello,
You should try with the package https://wapt.tranquil.it/store/fr/tis-m ... ms-appdata

Good morning,
I started testing tis-microsoft-teams-appdata, but for now it's worse because Teams doesn't launch automatically and there's no desktop shortcut. I created a "config-microsoft-teams-appdata" package in which I'm trying to recreate a shortcut in session-setup, but it's not working

Code: Select all

create_user_desktop_shortcut(app_name, target=makepath(default_user_local_appdata(),"Microsoft","Teams","Update.exe"), arguments=' --processStart "Teams.exe"')

I can't debug this create_user_desktop_shortcut command... WAPT always says "Incorrect parameter".

And then we'll have to figure out how to reactivate the automatic startup of teams-appdata...

And otherwise, I still don't see how to manage the background startup option with the tis-microsoft-teams-appdata package?

I was hoping another admin might have had the same problem and could help me. We'll manage until we find a solution.

Good morning,

I found a way to get Teams to open in the background on startup, but it's not working well enough yet. As shown here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answe...ckground-aI add the registry key using the following command in session-setup:

Code: Select all

registry_setstring(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, r'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartupApproved\Run', r'com.squirrel.Teams.Teams', '030000004655C8020E54D801')

Unfortunately, on a user's first login, the key isn't created yet. On the second login, the key is there, but Teams still launches in the foreground. And it's only on the user's third login that Teams finally starts in the background!

Hello,
New suggestion: you can test the UWP version of the application.
Package available here: https://wapt.tranquil.it/wapt-testing/t ... EPROD.wapt

Hi Jimmy,
Sorry, but it doesn't work any better with this version. The "Open the application in the background" box is checked, but Teams opens in full screen on the first and second user logins.
