Teams: Disable New Feature Popups?

How do I disable ALL popups that announce new features in Teams. You know, the ones with the cheap clipart drawings and redundant announcements. It is infuriating when I am trying to send a message to a colleague and interrupted by a random popup telling me to try a new feature that I'm already aware of and is absolutely useless to me. It hijacks my typing and it's got to go.

    ...their constant request for feedback, like an insecure teenager...

    LOL

    I think I'll just bookmark this thread and post it every time they ask me for feedback.

    Imagine what employee review meetings must be like at Microsoft if they think this level of nag is acceptable. It must be like an episode of Dark Mirror.

    Indeed. I can only wish the raise of AI will obliterate MS out of existence. Beside having to endure their constant request for feedback, like an insecure teenager, we also have to endure their BS notifications. How about reading the chatroom and shoving those popups up your kernel. Nobody gives a **** about Teams new features because they are complete BS. I should have paid the Google Meet services instead of getting a Teams license. No respect for the user. I guess we can only wish that Open Office or Google tools step up their game and oblitarate MS out of business. So, here is a shout out to all of those venture capitalist: come up with something better than Office and Teams, we will follow you blindly. In the meantime, MS can go fluff themselves.

    For those of you who can roll-back to the "old teams": I envy you. I tried to switch back and am brick-walled by this little gem:

    No way past it. Can't even uninstall because it gets put right back on reboot.

    So many pop-ups all the time, it's really unbelievable. Assuming MS uses their OS, you'd think they'd hate it too and go talk to their colleagues. But then again, maybe they're all brainwashed after getting on-boarded by Clippy. Crap-tastic.

    I know that writing a post here probably won't solve anything, but I am just so annoyed by these unwanted, useless, distracting popups. Microsoft tried this approach in the past with their Clippy and failed miserably. How dumb do you have to be to try and go this route again.

    My job is not to play around with and explore your software. My job is to do my work and your software is just a tool I use for that purpose. Just imagine yourself trying to use a hammer and before you grab it an annoying salesman pops up and starts explaining how awesome his hammers are. Cool, dude, I get it. Now get the **** out of my garage.
