Set desktopclient software as default

Hi all,

 

Opening any Office document in a new Office 365 Group results in opening the document in Office Online but I would like to use the desktop software as default.

I do know that I can set this up on a library (Library settings > Advanced Settings > 'Open in clientapp') but I would like to see that all newly created Groups are using the clientapp as default.

 

Is there someone who can tell me how to do this?

 

microsoft 365 apps
microsoft 365 groups
office 365
sharepoint

    Since behind the scenes you are configuring this behaviour in a document library, you have two options here:
    (1) Configure for each doc. library in each group site
    (2) Do it programatically using CSOM
