Teams is a messaging app that also provides a workspace for real-time collaboration and communication, meetings, and file and app sharing.
Most hardware vendors don't yet include Teams as a part of their images. Microsoft Managed Desktop deploys Teams to your devices by using Microsoft Intune. All managed devices have the Teams .msi package installed. The .msi package ensures all users, who sign in to a device, have Microsoft Teams ready to use. When the package first finishes installing, Teams automatically starts and adds a shortcut to the desktop.

Teams follows a separate update path from Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. The desktop client updates itself automatically. Teams checks for updates every few hours, downloads them, and then waits for the computer to be idle before silently installing the update.
The Teams product group doesn't allow admins to control updates, so Microsoft Managed Desktop uses the standard automatic update channel.
Individual users can also download updates. At the top right of the app, in the Profile dropdown, select Check for updates. If an update is available, it will be downloaded and silently installed when the computer is idle.
Delivery optimization for Teams updates is turned on by default and requires no action from admins or users.
