This guide will run through the process of installing the Microsoft Teams application to the iOS devices in your company using the Company Portal on the device.
This process can be used for other applications within the Apple Store and this particular app does not require any MAM policies associated with it at present. Note however that the hybrid Intune docs for March 2017 it is stated that Teams is MAM enabled – maybe this is coming shortly, let me know if you have more info on this.

Deploy to a relevant collection, I have chosen my ‘Intune Users’ collection.
Click Next.
Make the app ‘Available’ to users and click ‘Next’ and follow the wizard through to completion.
On an iOS device sign into the Company Portal with an account that is a member of the deployment collection. The app should appear in the ‘All Apps’ section. Tap to initiate the installation.
Click Install
You will be notified that the app will install from the App Store and that you will not be charged for the app. Click ‘Install’. Enter any App Store authentication details if prompted.
Microsoft Teams will download and install onto the device.
Open the app and authenticate with a Teams account when prompted.
Any luck with when Microsoft will allow MAM to be applied to this application during deployment.? I am also trying to figure this out and waiting.
