This feature’s config.json setting is "EnableLinkPreviews": false with options true and false

See below for details

Enable Link Previews

True: Enables users to display a preview of website content below the message, if available. When true, website previews can be enabled from Account Settings > Display > Website Link Previews.

False: Website link previews are disabled.
