I have Office Online Server connected to a SharePoint 2016 farm with multiple web applications. Is it possible to turn off/disable "preview" on some of the web applications or site collections? Or is this all or nothing?

Thank you.

    Unfortunately there is no way to turn off Office Online Server for some web applications in SharePoint Farm, It has to be for entire SharePoint Farm. But you can disable the opening documents in client applications by Default at Site collection level, You can use powershell to do it for all site collection in the Web Applications. 

    $WebAppsFeatureId = $(Get-SPFeature -limit all | where {$_.displayname -eq "OfficeWebApps"}).Id
$SiteCollection = Get-SPSite -Identity <<SharePoint-Site-URL>>
Disable-SPFeature $webAppsFeatureId -Url $SiteCollection.URL
