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

    If you go to settings in the outlook app and turn on use default browser, it will work in your chrome browser, or which ever one you use as a default.

    I had the same issue but I have uninstalled it and reinstall it and now the links seem to be going directly to Chrome ma rather than the in-house of browser as has been mentioned. But it was an issue thank you

    You're welcome 

    It depends on the Android-version which outlook app version you get. 

    On an older phone with an older Android, there isn't the setting "open in default browser."

    Do you have set the "default browser" setting in your Android Outlook App? 

    Thanks! That was it! (I think I had to install the most recent update first, but it is working!

    I've got 4.2044.3 and Habs the toggle .  If you don't have that version yet searching the play store using different search words. I thought I had the latest, searched again and found a newer version.
