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

You can already go to setting and check open in default browser. This is already a feature
By the way, for all those of you having a go at Mircrosoft for "introducing this as a feature", opening links within WebView (which is what Outlook is doing here) is standard for Android apps and has been for some time. Often it works well and if it's a link that's supposed to open a different specific app that should work too, where it's super iirritating to me is when I have a webpage open in Outlook WebView and then the website sends me e.g. a confirmation code via email which means I have to close the browser window to copy it and then somehow get back to where I was in a browser. Gmail does exactly the same thing.

This one is actually adding value! Thanks!
FWIW, for those of us who use outlook for work email,the Default Browser option is not there. Confirmed by Microsoft. So I still have to live this this BS.
For those of you who use outlook for work email, your system administrators control whether this option is available to you or not.
