Microsoft Edge Will Now Open Outlook and Teams Web Links

source: Windows 11 News Microsoft has announced that its Edge browser will now open web links to Outlook and Teams, two of its most popular productivity apps, directly in the respective apps. This new feature will streamline the user experience and make it easier for users to switch between apps seamlessly.

The Problem with Web Links

Previously, when users clicked on a web link to Outlook or Teams, the link would open in a new tab in the browser. This meant that users had to navigate to the respective app manually, which could be time-consuming and frustrating. This was particularly problematic for users who used Outlook and Teams frequently throughout the day. The constant switching between tabs and apps could interrupt their workflow and decrease productivity.

The Solution: Edge Integration

Microsoft has now integrated Outlook and Teams into the Edge browser, so when users click on a web link to either app, the link will open directly in the app, rather than in a new tab in the browser. This integration will be seamless for users and will eliminate the need to switch between tabs and apps. It will also reduce the risk of users accidentally closing a tab and losing their work.
