Can we use different default browser for Microsoft Teams?

OS: Windows 11

I am using Teams for organization/work. I do have my useful login/bookmarks in Edge and so I want to open links from Teams in MS Edge. The rest of the PC should use the default app as configured in the Windows OS setting. It will be very easy for us to managed saved login etc.

In short, the MS Teams desktop app should have an option/setting to set the browser for all links open from there. Without changing the default app for the rest of the windows.

Thanks.

    The problem is Microsoft. When you update MS Teams it ignores your previous setting in this case and changes it to always update links in Edge. So, you have to open teams settings and fix it after you start using the new MS Teams. Fortunately, that setting exists and can be changed easily as mentioned above.

    In Microsoft Teams "Settings | Files and links", you can choose either "Default browser" or "Microsoft Edge".

    I cannot see that option. It is latest MS Teams.

    Perhaps it's due to different Teams versions...

    I have this same question. I am also missing the "Link Open Preference" section and am stuck using edge for links sent in teams.

    Leave it to Microsoft to take away more options and force us to use Edge.

    Changing the default browser in the System-settings for windows has no affect on the Teams' default browser either.

    Come on MS?? Why was this removed and where can we change teams default browser?
