Hi ,

Based on my research, it seems there is no native way to put Teams in kiosk mode.

Here is the feedback from Microsoft teams' user feedback forum:

Sure its not possible if adding Teams as a Win32 App and then Configure it as a KIOSK App with the following details :

Name : Microsoft Teams
AUMID/PATH : C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\current\Teams.exe
DesktopApplicationId/AUMID for the Win32 App : com.squirrel.Teams.Teams
