Join a meeting without going through the browser
Notify Teams meeting invitation emails in Outlook.
Click on the meeting URL in the invitation email.
At this time, the browser starts and opens the desktop client.
Operation via this browser is inconvenient.
I want to join the meeting with a desktop client without going through the browser.

When the Teams desktop app is installed, clicking Join should not open a browser tab. Please....

Does anyone know if this is working or how to deploy it? I thought we were current with updates, but still don't have this feature.

I wish I could use my desktop app but it doesn't want to log me in, always with the same mistake and then a blank window… So I need the effing browser and its diminished features comparing to desktop app. Sigh.

It would be much more seamless if the teams app would open from the shared link instead of a browser. I would vote for this capability.

I defintily want to be able to use the reminder in outlook to click join online without going trough the browser or open the teams app or the meeting invitation. No extra clicks, please.

MS teams should never open a browser before opening the installed App. Its useless and irritating.

This would make my life so much easier! I really hope this can be updated in the near future.

Skype does this already - why can't Teams do this? In fact, when I get a reminder for a meeting, I can't even just join the meeting that way - I'm forced to make 4 clicks on 3 different screens. With Skype, I just merely click "Join" when the reminder pops up - and I join the meeting.
I constructed a JPG image (1250 x 1250 pixels ) that compares the process of the two for joining a meeting from a reminder. It's the same thing by the way if you go into Calendar.
From comments below - yes it's a bit simpler from calendar, but it's still multiple steps and you still get the question about whether to use Edge or the App. If you have the app, there should be some setting to say "always use the app for meetings".

Until we get this function, I use the Calendar icon on the left side menu bar in Teams.
Open the calendar, click on the meeting, click on "Join" -

This would be a great improvement.
