When right-clicking my meeting in Outlook and selecting "Join Teams Meeting", the app joins the meeting, no web popup.

 

When I select the meeting and click "Join Microsoft Teams Meeting" within the body of the meeting, the app joins the meeting, no web popup.

 

When I click "Join Online" in the event reminder popup, Google Chrome opens a new window/tab and then asks the question mentioned in my OP's screencap.

 

I did find a regkey for Google Chrome that can be configured to enable a checkbox that will allow the user to select "Don't ask me again", but even then it still opens in the browser.

 

The regkey for those interested:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome

Reg_DWORD: ExternalProtocolDialogShowAlwaysOpenCheckbox > 1

 

Has anyone had the experience where clicking "Join Online" in the Outlook reminder doesn't open the browser?
