Telemetry

General

The user telemetry data is transmitted by default. You have the possibility to disable the collection of user telemetry data by using the opt-out functionality in the Administration Center or via PowerShell.

Opt-out via Administration Center

In the Administration Center, select Logging and go to the section Telemetry. Here you have the option to disable the transmission of telemetry data.
