CAUTION: Microsoft does not provide a programmatic way to sign out of MS Teams desktop client. This article uses an unsupported script to sign out of MS Teams. It is not supported by Microsoft or UC Workspace/Quicklaunch. Please verify it works in your test environments. If you choose to use it in your production environments realize that it will be a security risk if it fails. Make sure to evaluate your production environments often to ensure that the script is working properly.
