    To add the new Microsoft Teams to a Windows 11 computer, follow these steps depending on the scenario.

    1. If using Microsoft 365 for work or school
      1. Sign in at www.microsoft365.com with the work or school account.
      2. On the Microsoft 365 home page, in the upper-right corner, select Install and more > Install Microsoft 365 apps.
      3. Select Install Office to download OfficeSetup.exe, then run it and complete installation. This installs the Microsoft 365 desktop apps including the Teams desktop app.
      4. After installation, use Windows Search on the taskbar to search for Teams and open the Teams desktop app.
    2. If using Teams for personal or small business use (Microsoft Teams (free))
      1. In a browser, go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/teams-for-home.
      2. Activate Download the free app.
      3. Choose Download the free Microsoft Teams app for Windows 11. The app installs on the computer.
      4. Open Teams and sign in with a personal Microsoft account.
    3. If installation is blocked by organization policy (work/school device) If the following message appears when trying to install the new Teams:

      Due to org policy, you can't install the new Teams. For more info, contact your IT admin.

      Then installation is being blocked by policy or registry settings controlling MSIX app installs. In this case:
      • Contact the IT administrator to review the MSIX-related Group Policy / registry keys such as BlockNonAdminUserInstall, AllowAllTrustedApps, and AllowDevelopmentWithoutDevLicense under:
        • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModelUnlock
        • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Appx
      • Ensure the device has the latest Windows cumulative updates installed, including the October or later updates that fix failures when AllowAllTrustedApps is disabled.
    4. If there are issues installing the new Teams client
      • Run the new Teams pre-installation check script described in the installation issues article to detect and remediate common problems before installing.
      • On Windows 10, if an error appears instructing to install WebView2 Runtime, download and install WebView2 Runtime, then restart the Teams desktop app and try again.
    5. If using Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) If the Windows 11 environment is an Azure Virtual Desktop session host and the new Teams desktop app is required with media optimization:
      1. On each session host, set the registry key to enable media optimization:
        • Open Registry Editor as administrator and create HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Teams if it does not exist.
        • Create a DWORD value IsWVDEnvironment and set it to 1.
        • Or run in elevated PowerShell: 
                  New-Item -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Teams" -Force
        New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Teams" -Name IsWVDEnvironment -PropertyType DWORD -Value 1 -Force
      2. Install the Remote Desktop WebRTC Redirector Service on each session host using the MSI from the documented link and complete the setup.

    After installation, Teams (including Microsoft Teams (free) on Windows 11 23H2) can be launched from the taskbar or Start menu.
