Open files via Teams

Person confidently looking at computer screen showing Teams file opening settings options

Do you know that you can set a standard for how files are opened in your Teams workspace?

This setting is for the individual user of Teams: Change how documents open in Teams

HOW TO:

  1. Open Teams
  2. Click on your profile picture, or rather: the 3 dots next to it
  3. Go to Settings
  1. Select Files and links in the left side menu
  2. Change where you want the default open Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files to be. Your options are.
    • Teams
    • Desktop (the setting will only apply to the respective device you are using when changing the setting).
    • Browser
  3. You can also change how to open links; either via default browser or Microsoft Edge (My recommendation is that Microsoft Edge IS the default browser).
  4. In the same menu page, you can set Teams to always ask where to save downloaded files by turning the toogle on.
