Teams Join Online button opens browser in stead of desktop application
Whenever a user clicks a "Join Online" button in their Outlook reminder or when a link to a teams channel is clicked in SharePoint, it opens the browser first and not the user's already running instance of Teams. Is there a way around this?
- FYI found out Microsoft is working in this. https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/32413297-join-meeting-button

Hi,
There is a uservoice about this:
https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/39089752-join-a-meeting-without-going-through-the-browser
I have two computers here now and one of them it opens directly in Teams desktop app, but on the other one it opens the browser first. Both computers are running the same version of Windows, Teams and Edge Chronium browser. Strange.
This topic is already been discussed in this thread with some suggestions:

LinusCansby - Hi Linus I was having the same issue, but I was opening up my Outlook invite, and clicking on the meeting link there, which was opening up the web browser, etc. and a lot of extra work. I found that if I'm on the Calendar in Outlook, right-click on my invite and select JOIN TEAMS MEETING that it opens up the meeting directly and then I can click JOIN. That was driving me nuts!

Hello Linus,Thanks for the response and assistance here. Are your two computers logged in with the same user account? If not, are both users in "Teams Only" mode policy?
Thanks,
Jon
Jon-Loane Yes, same account and it is TeamsOnly. I will check some more on this later to see if I can find any difference.
