MC803892 | (Updated) Web links in the new Outlook for Windows to open side-by-side with email in Microsoft Edge | Updated November 26, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience. To help increase productivity while working online, web links from Azure Active Directory (AAD) accounts and Microsoft (MSA) accounts in the new Outlook for Windows app will open in Microsoft Edge in a single view showing the opened link side-by-side with the email it came from. We're adding this to the new Outlook for windows to have a consistent experience across our applications. If you have previously managed this change for the classic Outlook for Windows (MC545904, MC548092, MC541626) or for Teams (MC669480), your configuration will also apply to the new Outlook for Windows. If you wish to maintain this configuration across all three apps, no action is required. Note: This does not change the default browser setting in Windows. |
