Hi HP_at_VOWA . Have you verified the following? (Source: Article "Edit a file in Microsoft Teams", Scroll down to the heading "Edit an Office file in its desktop or web app")
Before attempting to edit an Office file in its desktop app, make sure:- you're using the Teams desktop app for Windows or MacOS.
- you have an Office 365 E3 or E5 license.
- to download the desktop apps for PowerPoint, Word, and Excel (Office version 16 or newer).
We have Premium Licenses.
But we could change the setting: "open_file_in_desktop_app":false to :trueIn C:\Users\Username>\AppData\Local\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams\app_settings.json
Now it works 🙂
