Hi swhit88

I am having the same issue, it's very frustrating and my IT Support doesn't seem to be able to figure out the issue. Apparently, his version of Windows 11 allows him to select default options for word. As for PDF documents, he sees the same as me and the only option is to open in browser.

We uninstalled and reinstalled Teams but that did nothing. We're you able to find a fix?? Please share if you were or if anyone else out there has a fix, I would be grateful.

Thanks,

Erika

No I haven't been able to find a fix sadly. It's quite frustrating.

If you do find one, let me know please and thanks.

  For some strange reason it only works with E3 or E5 licenses. I have tested this and it seems to be true. Not sure why, only Microsoft would be able tell!!

milanpajovic I would reinstall Office. It's certainly a feature that is supported on Windows 11, but perhaps Teams isn't recognizing you have Office installed.
