Disable link preview in Outlook for the whole organization

How do I disable link preview in Outlook for the whole organization?

We spend a lot of time teaching our people not to click on "Bad" links or links from just anybody.

Our SPAM and other filters pick up most things, but not all.

Now I find Outlook is just doing it anyway.

ALSO*****

Emails are sent to users when messages are quarantined.

These contain a delete URL if the email is unwanted. Drastically reducing IT's workload.

Link Preview is running, following the link, So all quarantined emails are deleted, even the wanted ones.

We want to turn Link Preview off for the whole organization

    Hi @Matthew Shaw

    According to my research, you can disable the link preview for all users in your organization with PowerShell.

    1. Connect to Exchange Online.
    2. Disable link preview for all users.
       Set-OrganizationConfig –LinkPreviewEnabled $false
    

    More information, see: Set-OrganizationConfig
