Check Teams settings

Open Microsoft Teams.
Click your profile picture at the top right, then choose Settings.
Open the General tab and make sure there are no options set to override your system default browser.

Restart Teams

If changes don’t take effect immediately, restart Microsoft Teams.
Close the app completely, then reopen it to ensure the settings update.
