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

    Just to reiterate again, for those who use a corporate account / inTune this option is not available at all and according to MS it will never be.

    It is super annoying to open what i believe is outlook and see AliExpress or LinkedIn or some other stuff displayed there. Gets me confused every time before I shut the app off and restart. Such a waste of time.

    Yes, I have exactly the same thing! It is pretty annoying. And true: as soon as you use a corporate account/InTune/ Company Portal (it is basically all the same), the option is gone. It isn't even available for your non corporate accounts.

    https://youtu.be/sSWbd8hVPo0 Make sure Chrome is default browser on your phone then go to settings in outlooks and toggle on 'use default browser'. Hopefully this will keep working as this drives me insane as others say all my info is in chrome and I want it to open with my ither open tabs of things I am working on etc.

    Not if you have a work account in Outlook. Then they still force you to open everything in the app.
