        "content": "If you want links in Microsoft Outlook to open in Google Chrome (instead of something like Microsoft Edge), here's how to set that up. The steps may vary a bit depending on whether you\u2019re using the classic (desktop) Outlook, the \u201cnew Outlook\u201d version, and which version of Windows you have.\n\n---\n\n## Step 1: Make Chrome your default browser in Windows\n\n1. Open **Settings** (you can press Windows + I).\n2. Go to **Apps \u2192 Default Apps**. ([support.google.com](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/16737609?hl=en&utm_source=openai))\n3. Scroll down (or use the search box) to find **Google Chrome**, and click it.\n4. Click **\u201cSet default\u201d** to make Chrome your default for web links. This ensures protocols like HTTP and HTTPS are handled by Chrome. ([itechguides.com](https://www.itechguides.com/how-to-set-default-browser-in-windows-11-a-step-by-step-guide/?utm_source=openai))\n\n**Note**: After doing this, generic web links clicked anywhere in Windows will try to open in Chrome\u2014but Outlook has an additional setting that may override this (see Step 2). ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4602768/outlook-links-dont-open-in-chrome-set-as-default-b?forum=outlook_com-all&page=31&utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Step 2: Configure Outlook to open links in your default browser\n\nEven if Chrome is your system default, Outlook might be using its own setting to force links to open in Edge. To change this:\n\n### For Classic Outlook (desktop version)\n\n1. Open Outlook.\n2. Go to **File \u2192 Options**.\n3. Select the **Advanced** tab.\n4. Scroll to **File and browser preferences**.\n5. Find the setting **Open hyperlinks from Outlook in**, and change it from **Microsoft Edge** to **Default Browser**. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4602768/outlook-links-dont-open-in-chrome-set-as-default-b?forum=outlook_com-all&page=31&utm_source=openai))\n6. Click **OK**, then restart Outlook. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4602768/outlook-links-dont-open-in-chrome-set-as-default-b?forum=outlook_com-all&page=31&utm_source=openai))\n\n### For the New Outlook (if you're using the latest interface)\n\n1. Open Outlook.\n2. Go to **Settings** (usually by clicking the gear icon).\n3. Under **General**, go to **Links**. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4602768/outlook-links-dont-open-in-chrome-set-as-default-b?forum=outlook_com-all&page=31&utm_source=openai))\n4. Choose **Default browser** instead of Microsoft Edge. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4602768/outlook-links-dont-open-in-chrome-set-as-default-b?forum=outlook_com-all&page=31&utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Step 3: Verify everything is working\n\n- After doing both steps above, test clicking a link in an email. It should now open in Chrome.\n- If it still opens in Edge, double-check the two settings:\n  - That Chrome is set as default *for web protocols* (HTTP, HTTPS).\n  - That Outlook\u2019s \u201cOpen hyperlinks\u2026\u201d setting is using the \u201cDefault Browser\u201d option and that you restarted Outlook after changing it. ([ablebits.com](https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/change-outlook-default-browser/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n- **That Outlook hasn\u2019t been updated**: Some versions don\u2019t have the \u201cOpen hyperlinks from Outlook in\u201d option. If you don\u2019t see it, your version may predate the update that introduced it. Check for Office updates. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4602768/outlook-links-dont-open-in-chrome-set-as-default-b?forum=outlook_com-all&page=31&utm_source=openai))\n- **Your computer is managed by an organization**: Sometimes there are group policy settings enforced by your company or school that override these preferences. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Outlook/comments/1kgg32a?utm_source=openai))\n- **Cached link behavior**: If a specific link is set to use a specific protocol or edge-only setting, it may still open in Edge. Most normal links should follow the default browser setting. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4602768/outlook-links-dont-open-in-chrome-set-as-default-b?forum=outlook_com-all&page=31&utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which version of Outlook you\u2019re using (classic desktop, New Outlook, Outlook for Microsoft 365, etc.) and which Windows version (Windows 10 or 11), I can give you even more precise instructions!"

If you tell me your device (PC, Mac, phone), I can zoom in on just what you need.  \n\n---\n\n## On Windows (with Narrator, NVDA, or JAWS)\n\nThese methods work well for screen reader users, who may rely on keyboard-only workflows. The commands produce audible confirmation (\u201cScreenshot copied to clipboard\u201d) or save the image automatically.  \n\n| What you want to capture | Shortcut(s) | What happens |\n|---------------------------|---------------|---------------|\n| Entire screen | Press **Windows key + Print Screen** | Screenshot saved automatically to `Pictures \u2192 Screenshots` folder. ([itechguides.com](https://www.itechguides.com/how-to-take-a-screenshot-in-windows-every-built-in-method-explained/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Only active window | Press **Alt + Print Screen** | Copies just the current window to the clipboard.

After selecting, \u201cScreenshot copied to clipboard.\u201d ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/use-snipping-tool-to-capture-screenshots?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n**Hands-free steps using keyboard:**\n1. Use `Windows + Shift + S` to start screen clipping mode.\n2. Use arrow keys or Tab as needed to choose the snip mode (e.g., rectangle, freeform, window). Press **Enter** to select.\n3. Navigate to define the area using arrow keys with modifier keys if supported. Then press **Enter** again or release the mouse if using it.\n4. The clipboard now has the image. You can paste it (Ctrl + V) into Paint, Word, or any image-friendly application and then save (e.g., Ctrl + S) if needed.

([support.apple.com](https://support.apple.com/en-au/102646?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## On iPhone (with or without VoiceOver)\n\n- Press the **Side button + Volume up** at the same time. The screen flashes, and a thumbnail appears that you can tap to edit, or swipe away to save to Photos.  \n- If your device has a Home button, it\u2019s **Home + Side (or Top) button**.  \n\nVoiceOver will speak something like \u201cScreenshot saved\u201d once it captures.  \n\n---\n\n## On Android (with TalkBack or without)\n\nMethods vary a bit by device, but common ones are:\n\n- Press **Power + Volume down** simultaneously for about a second.  \n- On some Samsung phones: Power + Home or use palm swipe gesture (if enabled).  \n\nAndroid with TalkBack may provide a sound or spoken feedback like \u201cScreenshot captured.\u201d Depending on your settings, it might offer to edit or share.\n\n---\n\n## Tips for Screen Reader Users\n\n- **Enable audio cues**: In Windows, ensure system sounds are on so you hear confirmation.  \n- **Shortcut discovery**: Many screen readers (Narrator, VoiceOver) let you list keyboard commands via help menus (for example, Narrator key + F1 in Windows).  \n- **Save locations**: Know where screenshots go (Pictures \u2192 Screenshots on Windows; Desktop or a specific folder on Mac).  \n- **Screen reader focus**: After taking a screenshot with region selection, focus may leave active area. Press Tab, Esc, or Shift+Tab to regain focus where you want.  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me your specific device OS (Windows 10/11, a Mac model, iPhone or Android), I can walk you through the exact steps for VoiceOver or Narrator tailored to that setup."
