This step-by-step guide will show you how to have Microsoft Teams open in the background on Windows. This setting can be used if you would rather not have the full Teams application appear at start-up, but still want to receive messages and notifications from the Teams desktop application.

To set this setting:

1. Launch Microsoft Teams on your desktop.
2. Click on the three dots next to your account picture on the top right.
3. Select Paramètres.

   

4. In the general settings menu, check mark the ‘Ouvrir l’application en arrière-plan’ setting.

   

   All done! Close out of the menu.
