Office 365 advanced threat protection blocks links from opening

Question

I keep getting this message when I try to open links (e.g., university pages and zoom) and it blocks the sites - "We can't check the safety of this website right now. Please try again later." How can I override this block/ stop it from happening?

Hi. Thank you for your question and reaching out. I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

According to this article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/office-365-security/safe-links-policies-configure?view=o365-worldwide

Microsoft Defender for Office 365's Safe Links feature scans URLs in incoming email messages during mail flow and verifies URLs and links at the moment of click in email messages and other places.

The Built-in protection preset security policy offers Safe Links protection to all recipients (users who aren't defined in the Standard or Strict preset security policies or in custom Safe Links policies), despite the fact that there is no default Safe Links policy.
