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

    I'm sad that this problem has manifested for 2 months now and we are a ball that one customer support tosses to the other.

    Still, amid those circumstances the dev team saw fit to update the app with lgbtq trivial updates but noooooo, not this serious issue. From the other posts I have concluded that the devs just don't care, neither am I. I have one star reviewed it, uninstalled it and forwarded to my gmail account. Good riddance M$.

    I have been monitoring this thread for awhile and I decided I was done waiting for Microsoft to make a change. I installed the Edison Software email app. I've been using it for about a week and it has been great! I haven't noticed any features that I used in Outlook that I cannot find in the Edison app.

    And I no longer have to deal with that annoying built-in browser "feature" with Outlook. Done...

    I have heard from MS

    There is no way to default to chrome

    But you can click the 3 dots on BOTTOM of page and select open in browser
