App keeps opening in other desktop Mac

Every time I open Microsoft Teams it opens in my other desktop. How do I make it open always in my current desktop? I'm pretty sure I am the one who caused this I messed with my windows settings not too long ago but I don't know how to put it back. Thank you in advance.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 27.2

In the Dock, right-click your application, choose Options and select None. This way the app will no longer be assigned to a specific desktop and will always open in the current desktop.
