Prerequisites for PowerShell Teams Version Check

1. PowerShell 5.1+ (built-in on Windows 10/11/Server 2026).
2. Microsoft Teams installed (desktop app).
3. Run as Administrator for machine-wide installs (recommended).

Step-by-Step: How to Check Microsoft Teams Version Using PowerShell

Fire up PowerShell (Win + X > Windows PowerShell (Admin)) and copy-paste these commands. We'll cover the top methods.

Method 1: Registry Query (Most Reliable for All Teams Versions) ⭐

This scans the uninstall registry for Teams entries—works for both per-user and machine installs.

$uninstallPaths = @(
    'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*',
    'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*',
    'HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*'
)

Get-ItemProperty $uninstallPaths | 
Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -like '*Teams*' -and $_.DisplayName -notlike '*machine*' -and $_.DisplayName -notlike '*bootstrapper*' } | 
Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, Publisher | 
Format-Table -AutoSize

Output example:

✅ Boom! Your Teams version is right there. Adjust filters for "new Teams" if needed.

Method 2: Quick WMI/CIM Scan (Alternative for Installed Products)

For a broader app list including Teams:

Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Product | Where-Object Name -like "*Teams*" | Select-Object Name, Version

Note: This triggers MSI verification (slower), so use Method 1 first.

Method 3: For New Teams (MSIX-Based) ➤

Newer Microsoft Teams uses MSIX packaging. Check via Appx:

Get-AppxPackage *Teams* | Select-Object Name, Version

Or for provisioned packages:

Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Where-Object DisplayName -like "*Teams*"

Pro Tip: Automate with a One-Liner PowerShell Function

Save this as a script for instant reuse:

function Get-TeamsVersion {
    $teams = Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*', 'HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*' | 
             Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -match 'Microsoft Teams' }
    if ($teams) { Write-Output "Teams Version: $($teams.DisplayVersion)" } else { Write-Output "Teams not found!" }
}
Get-TeamsVersion

Run it anytime: Get-TeamsVersion. 🎉 Scales to remote machines with Invoke-Command.

Troubleshooting Common Issues 😎

Stuck? Verify install path: (Get-ItemProperty 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Teams').TeamInstallPath.

Bonus: Compare Versions & Stay Updated

Latest stable Teams versions evolve rapidly. Cross-check with official release notes via Microsoft Docs. Script updates? Integrate with winget:

winget list --id Microsoft.Teams

This pulls installed version + available updates. Pair with PowerShell for a full audit dashboard!
