Teams needs an option to allow us to specify what browser it should use
In the nature of "hybrid work", I often work from home on my personal computer. To keep work and personal stuff separate, I use different browsers. Edge for work and Brave for personal stuff. ...
I think it could be a function for system, not for teams.
IMO, Teams could make this happens, as it's a switch/openwith/redirect function
but it should be a system level settings which should be set by admin, not set through APP.
I think "Teams will always use my default browser to launch content" means URL in Teams desktop app. but about "how to open a URL" is actually like: when you try to open http://www.bing.com, system will check the settings then open it with a tool(maybe browser), then browser check the settings if it will open it or redirect it, then URL will run and check if it run with the current browser or redirect again.
the complex things is enough and it's not a good idea to make Teams join it, consider policy like GPO/MAM already join in and sometimes lead to chaos. and just like normally no app will ask you which browser you want to use when you click the link(unless it's the first time, which means no settings for it, or means system don't know what to do and programmer give you a way to choose)

- Ended up creating a dedicated work profile on my computer, which allows me to use Edge as my default. Not what I wanted to do, but it resolved most of my problems.
