Any comment from RC on this? Happening for our users too and we have that setting disabled.

It's happening to our company as well. Started last Friday for us. Will check the setting from FST and see if that fixes it

We are having this same issue but we cannot find this setting because we are using ring central through teams. Does anyone know a solution for the teams ring central?

Hi everyone! Thank you for reporting this issue. I have taken immediate action and reported it for review. Rest assured, I will follow up on this matter and provide you with the necessary feedback as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation.

Hello Everyone, we apologize for the inconvenience.

During the testing of a Feature Flag Control for a feature developed for a specific customer, the Launch an external app (or website) setting was accidentally enabled for some customers. This setting was enabled for a small set of customers with the URL set to "www.google.com". As a result, for those customers in this small pool who had enabled this setting with a specific URL/application configured, it would've been overwritten with "www.google.com".

How to fix it:

1. For RingCentral app users who do not want this setting enabled:
   1. Go to Jupiter Settings -> Phone -> turn off Launch an external app or website for incoming calls (See Figure 1)
2. For RingCentral users who had the URL altered:
   1. Go to Jupiter Settings -> Phone -> Manage (for launching an external app or website for incoming calls) and make the change in the “Enter command” field.
3. For MS Teams users: Please comment here so that I can collect your data, and report it to the appropriate team for resolution.

3 of our users reported the same issues yesterday. RC for teams.

Does anyone else think this is crazy and a huge security risk?

1) Allowing a website to open when a call comes in... and 2) that RingCentral "mistakenly" turned this on for multiple customers? All it takes is one disgruntled employee to turn this on for everyone and point it to a malicious website.

You can go here and vote for them to allow admins to toggle the Launch an external app... at a company level: https://ideas.ringcentral.com/forums/958493-phone-messaging/suggestions/48017498-ability-of-the-admin-to-configure-launch-an-exter
