Anything I try to open sends me to Microsoft Edge instead of Google Chrome like it used to. How can I change this?

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,

    I saw the Link open preferences option did not display for me as well. I had an Admin from work fix it - not sure if it was because he was an Admin that he was able to see it, or because he also removed and re-deployed MS Teams.

    This solution doesn't work. I followed your prompts and when Browser is selected in the dropdown it does not open a new dropdown to select the Default Browser like it does in your screenshot. I tried browser based Teams and Desktop App for Teams. I also tried making Edge my default browser like another poster suggested and it still does not open a default browser selector after you change it Browser in the dropdown. I keep trying to post a screenshot of the same screen from your screenshot but it will not render in this post for some reason. Turns into an upside down smiley face, so maybe I do not have authorization to post images/screenshots.
