Apparently also coming soon to Teams to help us "stay engaged in conversations as you browse the web". Thanks so much Microsoft - I always thought it was my social anxiety keeping me from staying engaged in conversations - turns out I was just using the wrong browser!

There's a GPO to turn it off, but you'll need to download the latest Office GPO package. Here's a PowerShell script if you're running an RMM tool - it'll need to run as user:
Function SetRegistryKey($RegistryPath, $Name, $PropertyType, $Value){ # Create the key if it does not exist If (-NOT (Test-Path $RegistryPath)) { New-Item -Path $RegistryPath -Force | Out-Null } # Now set the value New-ItemProperty -Path $RegistryPath -Name $Name -Value $Value -PropertyType $PropertyType -Force } SetRegistryKey "HKCU:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\common\links" "BrowserChoice" DWORD "0"
