Teams for Linux pop-up question when program is started

solat · February 12, 2021, 6:08am

I use snap teams-for-linux version 1.0.6 . It was working fine for months, but now when I start it on Ubuntu 20.04 I get message:

I always click on No button. But I really don’t know what this question is all about. Why is snap asking such a technical question to end-user, that really doesn’t know how to answer.

What happens if I click on Yes? I don’t want to break my Teams, but it is little bit annoying that every time I start Teams I get this question.

This dialog is prompting you whether to let the Teams application register as the default application that gets launched when you click on a URI that begins with msteams://. It allows you to launch teams and join a room or conference directly from an address sent to you via email, for example. It is safe to say yes for Teams to handle this.

Just to let you know, there is already an official Teams for Linux

Now I have started Teams for Linux and selected Yes button on Ubuntu 20.04. But if I close down (right click in taskbar and quit) and start it again it asks this question again. So, if I click No or Yes, I get the same message again when I restart a program.

Is there a way to disable this pop-up window, to not ask me this question every time I start up a program?
