Meetings Join

As soon as we click Join a meeting, it takes to web browser and there gives option to join via Teams Desktop client; it should direct take to Microsoft Teams client as same is already running on local machine

Is there a setting to enable/disable this

Thanks

    Hi Maheshwar Tayal

    There is a recent uservoice open for this

    https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/39089752-join-a-meeting-without-going-through-the-browser

    AFAIK, there is no current setting to open direct in the desktop client or suppress going to the browser first. Oddly, if you book a meeting directly through Teams setting a channel and then join via Teams or Outlook it does go straight to the meeting. It appears to be meetings booked through Outlook from what I can tell from a period of short testing.

    So I would recommend voting on the uservoice and at the future AMA's. Whilst I would say that it ought it open the desktop automatically it may be by design insofar that people may not have the desktop app installed or could be due to actual preference.

    Hope that answers your question

    Best, Chris
