How can I disable Office Privacy option
We have a lot of users getting the Office Privacy option and we would like to disable this across board . If possible how can we do this via GPO or the admin center for office desktop apps ...
You can, if you read my reply. You need to manage the ”new” privacy settings with policies. When managed the users won’t be prompted. This is something I done myself but set up the GPOs before the new privacy settings where introduced with 1904 (almost a year ago for semi annual enterprise channel).
ChristianBergstrom Hi, so do I need to enable a particular option in that policy or just create a policy with one of the options set for it to bypass the prompt?
Thanks,
Mike
mike_robertson Hey, I noticed the doc is updated since I used it so have a look here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/privacy/manage-privacy-controls#dialog-about-optional-connected-experiences
For the record we did allow these (users can opt out) but as we configured this specific policy the users did not get prompted when being updated from 1902 to 1908 (introduced in 1904). I even had this verified by Microsoft support as they also did some testing. It was important that 10 000+ users didn't get prompted.

- You could just use the one that controls all of them, but bear in mind that the setting will affect the Office apps features so I recommend that you read the docs before using it.
