Hi there,
I am having an issue with setting up default chat (IM) application for outlook. When you highlight someone's name in outlook, you get to choose if you want to call/chat/email them. Attached a picture of it. Where can I enable this firm wide via intune? I was able to change it by messing with my registry a bit locally and changing IM chat reg key but it seems like jabber or zoom hijacks it later on anyway. These are the buttons I am talking about:

Hi, In Intune, if you go to Devices -> Configuration, and create a new Profile for Windows 10 and later, of type Settings Catalog... when you go to add settings to that profile, you can search for Office and find a lot of settings available. Hopefully the one you want is available there. HTH- unfortunately, there is no setting to manage that from what I saw. We tried proactive remediation also to set the reg key but its not ideal

gmoney202 - When you need to search for a setting in the settings catalog, you can find an export (thanks Mike-Danoski!) here: IntunePMFiles / DeviceConfig GitHub repository.
I also don't see a setting for what you are trying to do. I know it's not ideal, but perhaps this article might be helpful? Instant messaging client features not available - Outlook.
