PowerShell makes it lightning-fast—no digging through settings or About menus!

In this guide, you'll master how to check your Microsoft Teams version using PowerShell. We'll cover foolproof scripts, pro tips, and troubleshooting to keep your Teams humming. Ready to dive in? Let's power up! ⭐

Why Check Microsoft Teams Version with PowerShell?

• Speed: Get results in seconds, not minutes.
• Precision: Detect machine-wide, user-specific, or new Teams installs.
• Automation: Script it for bulk checks across your organization.
• No GUI Hassle: Perfect for remote servers or headless environments.

Recent updates to Teams (like the shift to the new Teams client) make version checks essential for features like AI copilot integration. Stay compliant and optimized! 😊

Prerequisites: Get Set Up in 30 Seconds

1. Ensure PowerShell 5.1+ or PowerShell 7 is installed (standard on Windows 10/11/Server 2026).
2. Run as Administrator for system-wide scans (right-click PowerShell → "Run as administrator").
3. No extra modules needed—pure native cmdlets! 👍

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

We'll use registry queries and WMI for comprehensive coverage. Copy-paste these scripts directly!

Method 1: Quick Registry Check for Classic Teams (Most Common) ⭐

This grabs the version from the uninstall registry—works for MSI and new per-machine installs.

Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*" | 
Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -like "*Teams*" } | 
Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, Publisher | 
Format-Table -AutoSize

Expected Output:

Pro Tip: Pipe to Export-Csv for reports: | Export-Csv -Path "C:\TeamsVersions.csv" -NoTypeInformation. Boom—audit-ready! 👏

Method 2: User-Specific Teams Check (HKCU Registry)

For per-user installs (common in new Teams):

Get-ItemProperty "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*" | 
Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -like "*Teams*" } | 
Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion

Method 3: WMI/CIM for Installed Products (Universal Scanner) 🚀

Scans all software installs reliably:

Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Product | 
Where-Object { $_.Name -like "*Teams*" } | 
Select-Object Name, Version

Or for faster non-enumerating WMI:

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where { $_.Name -match "Teams" } | ft Name,Version -a

Method 4: New Teams App (MSIX/Store Version) – Latest 2026 Standard

The redesigned Teams uses app paths. Check here:

$teamsPath = "${env:LOCALAPPDATA}\Microsoft\Teams\current\Teams.exe"
if (Test-Path $teamsPath) {
    (Get-Item $teamsPath).VersionInfo.ProductVersion
} else {
    Write-Output "Teams not found in user profile."
}

Feeling empowered? These methods cover 99% of setups. But what if it fails? Keep reading! 😎

    param([switch]$AllUsers)
    if ($AllUsers) {
        Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*", "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*" |
        Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -like "*Teams*" } |
        Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion
    } else {
        # Default single check
    }
}
Get-TeamsVersion -AllUsers

Save as .ps1 and run anywhere. IT dream! 🌟

Alternatives if PowerShell Isn't Your Thing

• About Menu: Teams → Profile → Check for updates (quick but manual).
• Settings App: Apps & features → Search "Teams".
• winget: winget list Microsoft.Teams (built-in package manager).

But nothing beats PowerShell's depth. Why settle for less?
