Hi,

Is it possible to have a Microsoft Teams Invite Link open directly to the Microsoft Teams Application without opening a tab in a web browser?

Thanks.

Hi @Tribeca Admin

When you select a Microsoft Teams meeting link in Microsoft Outlook to join a meeting, Outlook opens a page in your browser that provides multiple options to join the meeting. If you have the Teams desktop app installed on your computer, and you want to use the app to join all Teams meetings, you can set your meeting preference so that Outlook opens the meeting directly in the Teams app instead of asking for your preference each time.

1.Set your Teams meeting preference in the browser

Step1.Select the Join Online button in the Microsoft Outlook meeting reminder or select Click here to join the meeting in your email invitation.

Step2.On the Teams start page that opens in your browser, select Always allow teams.microsoft.com to open links of this type in the associated app, and then select Open.

The browser will store your preference and open the meeting in your Teams desktop app. For all future Teams meetings, Outlook will send your meeting join request to the Teams desktop app when you select the meeting link.

2.Set your Teams meeting preference in the Windows registry
