Hi,

We would like our users to use Google Chrome to open links with Outlook or Teams but it seems that Edge is pushed by default. We found a setting that allow the individual user to change it to system default browser... but we would like the GPO to work properly.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-ca/outlook/troubleshoot/message-body/view-emails-and-web-links-in-browser

We configured this GPO and unfortunately, it does not work...

Can someone help us ?

Thank you

    Hi @Antonin Audard

    Can you provide screenshots of the steps when creating a GPO? For example, is there a Google option in the Configuration setting of Choose which browser opens web links?

    According to the documentation, if you enable this policy, you can choose either "System default browser" or a specific browser, such as "Microsoft Edge." "System default browser" refers to the browser setting specified on the user's Windows device.

    Users should use Google as the system default browser, and if you have completed all of these steps, please wait for a while, Group Policy may take up to 24 hours to complete the configuration after it is configured.
