Teams package and "Meeting Experience" feature

[Gaetan]

I haven't received that feedback on my end.
And there are no issues on my end.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback, I've modified the package.
Have you received any reports of users having to log back into Teams very regularly, even daily?
In case you need it, I performed a one-time profile cleanup; here's the code snippet.

Yes, regular updates, a real pain... I have to clean up my profiles every four days to keep up...

Hello, what are the symptoms?

Hello everyone,

Here's some feedback on the package update (Teams was already installed with the same version 1.3.00.28779)
- on many machines, the following automatic cleanup fails, so the new options are unavailable.
# Cleaning up Teams profile once
if isdir(user_conf_dir):
if registry_readstring(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,r'Software\WAPT\Teams','CleanupOnce') != 'Done':
killalltasks(processes_to_kill)
time.sleep(2)
remove_tree(user_conf_dir)
registry_set(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,r'Software\WAPT\Teams','CleanupOnce','Done')
- On these machines, I tried uninstalling from the console + rebooting + reinstalling, but nothing changed (a registry key must be causing the problem).

Has anyone else experienced this type of issue?

Hello guillaume.legendre,

Regarding your feedback, we have improved the Teams package to better handle cases where the cleanup doesn't work on the first attempt.

However, this change will require WAPT 1.9, so for affected machines, you will need to run "wapt-get session-setup tis-microsoft-teams -f" as the user.

Until then, I suggest you create a package that performs this operation and that you can apply when a machine is affected (ideally).


Sincerely,
Jimmy

Hello,

is it possible to add the "Teams" program to the login screen by going to %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup?
Thank you for your help!

[Gaetan]

Hello,
it's possible with this option to add to the session setup:

Good morning,

The easiest solution for you would be to remove this part of the code in the Teams package's install function:

Code: Select all

    # Disabling AutoStart
    if iswin64():
        registry_delete(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,r'SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run','Teams')
    registry_delete(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,r'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run','Teams')

If you specifically need users to be able to disable the software startup themselves, you will need to add the equivalent of the key that is deleted in the machine environment and place it in the user environment using the registry_set() function

Sincerely,
Jimmy
