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.

2025-05-06T12:09:01+00:00 As with all othe users of Teams, I agree that this is unacceptable. Teams is not a 'consumer game' app, it is a 'business' user app where users of the product are trying to do their work effectively. We pay for Teams and these popups are as annoying as constant advertisement popup for which browsers have the feature to block popups. We do not need tips that we can 'resize windows', a feature we've been aware of for over 20 years. I cannot imagine what individual thought this would be a good idea.

2025-04-07T17:00:20+00:00 "They are feature announcements and cannot be disabled" - How about just let us disable new features then? MS used to be about productivity instead of advertising, it's pretty spiteful to make every end user of a MS app fight through your ads every day. You guys are making Slack look like a superior option, and that is not a good look. Hell, even Google Chat is less intrusive. Anyway, here I am wasting time complaining about the time your team makes me waste. Is there a number I can call in to more directly waste some of your time?

2025-04-03T23:12:05+00:00 How do I "Report abuse" by Microsoft for their complete failure to fix this "feature" that has been going on for an obnoxiously long time? Just put a button in the settings that allows users to "Turn off feature notifications"! It's not rocket science. Even Apple has that button.
