Open file in desktop app by default
Is there a (custom) way to open office files in the respective office desktop app by default (e.g. Excel)? At the moment when clicking on the file it opens in Teams
There are several posts that say when you open a file from Teams it opens in Teams, but a few days ago all my files started opening in the app, not in Teams. Was this an MS change and
How do I change that back?
Is there any way for admin to globally set the default for the whole organisation to open documents in the desktop app by default?
- Second this!
I also only have access to the two options and the App is not one of them for the default. I have multiple Teams accounts and his is the only one I only have the two options on.
F_QB96Only 3 users in our company have all 3 options. The people that have it, myself included, all have Microsoft Apps for Enterprise. All others have Microsoft Apps for Business and do NOT have the apps option. I have opened several tickets, with Microsoft, and the reps that I work with say they don't even see all 3 options!
Microsoft rep had me sign in a different user into my teams app and they had access to all 3 options on my pc, but not their own. This leads me to believe it is somehow tied to office versions, not user access.
