Can the MS Graph meeting link be opened directly in the browser?

I have successfully created an onlineMeeting object by using MS Graph API

POST /users/{userId}/onlineMeetings

I can extract the joinWebUrl (or the joinUrl, both seem to be the same) and get it to open on a new tab, which gives a popup asking whether I should open the Teams App on my system to join the meeting. If I say yes, the Teams App opens up and I can join the meeting through it. If I say no, the Teams launcher page is opened, where I can

a. Download the app

b. Continue on the browser, or

c. Open Teams.

My question is, how can I get the meeting opened up directly on the browser, bypassing the popup and the launcher page? Everywhere I search, questions are on how to open the meeting directly in the app, but I need it the other way around, in the browser. Is this possible through code?

I'm including my graph API code below, even though it might not be relevant.

let data = {
        "startDateTime": "2022-08-16T13:20:34.2444915-07:00",
        "endDateTime": "2022-08-16T13:25:34.2444915-07:00",
        "subject": "Teams Meeting"
    }

    let payload = await fetch("https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{userId}/onlineMeetings", {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
            'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + tokenResponse.accessToken,
            'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        },
        body: JSON.stringify(data)
    });
    let json = await payload.json();

    window.open(json.joinWebUrl);
Solution

  • The default behavior is: it open the Teams launcher page:

    Teams launcher page is opened

    Here, you can click on checkbox to always open the links in associated app but we don't have any option to always open it in browser.
