Seems that it's still missing for some users in my tenant and some users have this setting...

Edit: Did some digging, on their computers the option doesn't show up but if they login to my laptop(which isn't domain connected), this option shows up... We are running the latest Office build aswell as teams 🙂

Are there any additional requriements ?

Same here, some users (M365 Prem) have and some don't have the option for setting 'Desktop App' as Default. I myself on my main PC (.26376), do not - on other devices, I do get the option - so device dependant.

Richy72I'm running into the same situation. We are not using the preview. Some of have the option and others do not. I had the option on one device and then ran both Office and Teams updates and now I no longer have the option. Would love to figure out how to get it back.

  Same here at our org. Teams app version 1.4.00.26376 64-bit Updated 9/28/2021. I go to Settings and the File menu, and I only get Teams and Browser in the drop down even if I scroll. I've logged out, quit, restarted, 2FA'd, and logged back in Teams and no difference on my machine. Others with the same version have it.

    Two more weeks and I still don't have the feature. Anyone from MSFT listening who can advise?
