Hello Pablo,

By default, web links will open in Microsoft Edge. But you can change it by going to Settings > Files and links > Link open preference and select the browser you prefer in your case Google Chrome.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

    "Default Browser" should be the standard setting not Edge. Actually, this setting in Teams should simply not exist, since there is already a Windows setting for this and obviously people ALWAYS want to use their standard browser and not randomly Edge for Teams links (unless Edge is their standard in Windows already). Yet another example of Microsoft trying to push their stuff onto people without them asking for it...

    I'm going so far as to call this behaviour from Microsoft as "dirty and dishonourable".

    Get Chrome/Firefox: "Hey, you can use Edge instead"

    Change the defaults: "Hey, are you sure? You can use Edge, instead! Try it"

    Open Teams: "You're opening everything from here in Edge, right? I'll just default to Edge instead of the defaults you chose. It's rude, but I don't care".

    Yeah, no. 30 years of distrust in your stupid app keeps me from doing that.

    Teams recently changed the behaviour on my PC from opening with the standard browser to opening with Edge.

    This helped me to reconfigure it, although it would not have been neccessary if Teams would not change settings without asking.
