title: Open URL in Microsoft Teams tab
body: <p>I want to open a link in the static tab from a bot conversation. I used deep linking for this and created a link like <code>https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/{TeamsAppId}/{TeamsTabId}?webUrl={myURL}</code>.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that it opens the URL first in the browser asking with which app to open it with. Then, I have to click "Open in Microsoft Teams" and it opens it in the MS Teams tab.</p>
  
  <p>How can I get rid of this and open the URL directly in the tab?</p>
  
  <p>The manifest part that creates the static tab is</p>
  
  <pre><code>"staticTabs": [{
      "entityId": "com.my.tab",
      "name": "MyTab",
      "contentUrl": "https://dev.my.com/#/start",
      "scopes": [ "personal" ]
  }],
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In the example above, <code>TeamsTabId</code> is <code>com.my.tab</code>.</p>
