Allow Teams application start minimized

Hi,
If you check in settings you have the option "Open application in background", that will start Teams but it will only run in the background and not as open window when the computer starts. Test that setting.
There is also a uservoice requesting this setting to be configured globaly.

LinusCansby That does not prevent Teams from launching into an "in focus" window.
Yes, the setting is there, but it does not do anything. I have tried uncheckin and checking it again, but Teams still opens up in a window, not minimized, after a restart. Any ideas for how to fix this? LinusCansby
mstendah You could try clearing cache and/or reinstall Teams from your computer.

LinusCansby Running Microsoft Teams Version 1.3.00.21759 (64-bit). I've got the same problem (application launches full screen every time even with "open in background" setting checked). Cleared the Teams cache and no change
Unfortunately this option is not available in Linux version.
Hello,
ich had the same problem under Linux (Ubuntu 18.04 with XFCE4-Desktop). After some research on the WEB I applied a suggested solution using python3 and xdotools.
Here the link to python scripts.

I use the solution that uses the PID of the process and it works fine for me.Also I removed the standard "MS-Teams" default autostart entry from xfce4 (I deactivate the checkbox under the settings of Teams) and added a new one that call a shell script that call the python script. The autostart entry on my system is located undeŕ: ~/.config/autostart/startMicrosoftTeamsMinimized.desktop.
I have attached some shell/python/desktop files.
Have funIs there a way to create a windows shortcut that can do the same? I tried searching but it keeps giving me MS Teams internal shortcuts.
Thanks LinusCansby
I didn't see this menu, but now I have found it!!!. It's is at the top right of Teams application click in the "avatar"!! 😉
- Great that you found the setting and I hope it will do what you wanted. Cheers!
