Microsoft Teams MSI Installers

For a managed deployment of Microsoft Teams via SCCM, Intune, or Group Policy, you want the official MSI installer rather than the self-updating consumer installer users get from teams.microsoft.com — the MSI is what’s designed for silent, unattended, machine-wide installs.

Getting the Installer

Microsoft publishes the current Teams MSI installers directly through the Microsoft 365 admin center and Microsoft’s own download pages — search “Teams bulk deployment” on Microsoft Learn for the current direct links and machine-wide vs per-user installer options, since Teams packaging has changed more than once (classic Teams to “new Teams”) and the current official links change accordingly.

Silent Install Command

msiexec.exe /i "Teams_windows_x64.msi" /q /norestart

/q installs silently with no UI, and /norestart suppresses an automatic reboot. Use /qb+ instead of /q if you want a minimal progress UI shown to the end user rather than a fully silent install. Always pull the installer directly from Microsoft’s own current download link rather than a third-party mirror, since Teams packaging and installer requirements have changed more than once and an outdated cached copy may install a version that’s already been superseded.

Major Update: The Classic MSI Is Retired (Updated for 2026)

This is now important, not just a footnote: Microsoft ended support for the classic Teams client on 1 July 2024 and pulled it from availability entirely on 1 July 2025. As of today, Teams_windows_x64.msi is retired — anyone still running the classic client sees a message telling them it’s no longer available and to contact IT. The silent-install command above no longer reflects Microsoft’s supported deployment method. The current tool is teamsbootstrapper.exe, a lightweight provisioning tool that installs the modern Teams client as an MSIX package rather than an MSI. Get it from Microsoft’s own download link (search “Teams bootstrapper” on Microsoft Learn for the current direct link) and deploy silently with:

teamsbootstrapper.exe -p

For offline/air-gapped deployment where you’ve already staged the MSIX package locally or on a UNC share:

teamsbootstrapper.exe -p -o "C:\path\to\teams.msix"
teamsbootstrapper.exe -p -o "\\server\share\teams.msix"

This tool is designed to work with SCCM/Configuration Manager, Intune, and Group Policy logon scripts, so the deployment mechanics you’d already have in place for the old MSI slot in the same way — only the installer and package format have changed.
