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.

    MS, annoying your users, blocking work, making them spend time looking in notifications for a way to turn off pop-up tips, then not finding it, googling it only to find this thread saying it's impossible to turn the pop-up tips off, is not going to endear them to your product. I don't read them and it doesn't look like anyone else does either and what you have is a group of highly irritated users looking at your competition. They may not be able to change at work due to company IT but most have computers at home...you get the point. Do what other programs do and throw a video of changes out there and let people find it if they want because, honestly, I will avoid Teams just because of the unread pop-up tips and the fact you won't do anything about it.

    I agree! It is getting beyond annoying.

    This. By deliberately preventing disabling this, MS indicates that it knows that most everyone would do it. The Teams program manager should be reassigned.

    Or, if I read this correctly, not so much:
