This article explains how to install the Microsoft Teams PowerShell module using PowerShell Gallery. The Microsoft Teams PowerShell module is supported on all Windows platforms. Mac and Linux are not supported.

Requirements

Microsoft Teams PowerShell module requires PowerShell 5.1 or higher on all platforms. Install the latest version of PowerShell available for your operating system.

To check your PowerShell version, run the following command from within a PowerShell session:

$PSVersionTable.PSVersion

We recommend that you use the Install-Module cmdlet to install the Microsoft Teams PowerShell module.

If PowerShell Gallery (PSGallery) isn't configured as a trusted repository for PowerShellGet, the first time you use the PSGallery you'll see the following message:

Untrusted repository

You are installing the modules from an untrusted repository. If you trust this repository, change
its InstallationPolicy value by running the `Set-PSRepository` cmdlet.

Are you sure you want to install the modules from 'PSGallery'?
