    Warning: The deduplication feature is available for Microsoft Teams chat messages. It is a process that eliminates duplicated copies of data and significantly decreases storage capacity requirements. To use the feature, enable theUse Graph's chat deduplication (cost reduction)checkbox from the Advanced Configuration Options on the Source tab. Note that due to the Graph API limitations, when this feature is enabled, the chat messages of guests and deleted users are not captured. To use this feature all users in the tenant should be monitored and have the E5 licenses. Note: In case of having an error with a '404 not found' message for a user when processing messages from Microsoft Teams, the collector will skip that user, and a warning will be logged for later troubleshooting.
