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.

Check your outlook version numbers. I would think the difference would be there.

Actually the computer that opened the Web browser first hadn't been restarted for a long time, I rebooted it and now it works. When i click the link "Join Microsoft Teams meeting" or "Join Teams Meeting" it open Teams directly.
The only time the browser is opened first is when I click "Join Online" on the Outlook meeting reminder that pops up.
Jon-Loane I'm running Windows 10 with Edge Chronium browser. Latest Outlook and Teams client. Can you test that?
- Feb 13, 2020Yeah that's why I'm thinking an update of one of those fixed that recently. Hence the reboot since maybe you got an update? Can you post your Outlook and Teams versions so that Jon can compare?

Jon-Loane My Outlook version is Outlook for Office 365 MSO (16.0.12430.20172). Teams version 1.3.00.362. Both running in English.
