Hi, I noticed that all my links in my Android Outlook app open in an in build browser instead of the app, (such as youtube) This is really frustrating as I have to do other steps to find the option to 'Open in browser' so it then opens in the youtube app. This is for all links amazon, twitter etc. 

Is there any way to disable this option? I am unable to find it in settings withtin the app.

Thanks

    Be default,  Outlook for Android opens link in internal browser but you can change this.

    1. Open outlook app on your Android device.
    2. Go to settings
    3. Find and enable this option "Use default browser".

    I believe this is what you're looking for...

    It wasn't there when I initially read this thread to find a solution.

    I contacted Outlook support within the app. They were absolutely no help.

    Then the option mysteriously appeared so I used it to fix the issue.

    And now it's inexplicably disappeared again!

    Hmm very strange. Maybe only appears when you have changed your default browser to something other than the factory settings?

    At least you managed to change the setting before it pulled a Houdini on you!

    Thanks. I found it the other day. But actually the option is now gone! It's like they are switching the visibility of this setting on and off. Weird.
