Open documents in Office Online instead of desktop application

Question

Hi, 
 We are using M-Files Web Client (vNext) with a vault hosted in M-Files Cloud . CO-Authoring is enabled and the Microsoft 365 integration is configured. 
 When opening Office documents (Word / Excel / PowerPoint) from the Web Client, the files are opened in the desktop applications instead of Office Online (Office for the web) . 
 Question:

How can we ensure that documents are opened in Office Online rather than the desktop applications?

Thanks in advance.

If you've enabled desktop co-authoring via Microsoft 365 storage, all co-authoring will take place in the Office desktop applications. Using Office for the web is not supported in this scenario. 
 The older web-based co-authoring feature is still available, but both co-authoring methods cannot be used within the same vault. 
 For more information, see Enabling co-authoring for Microsoft Office documents and Microsoft 365 Storage and Native Experiences FAQ .
