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.

No fix?? I can just use Slack.
Thanks Microsoft for your heavy handed sales tactics.
AMEN!!! Especially since often they add a new undesirable feature, and take something I liked away!
I am so tired of Microsoft's "features" ... regardless of the product. They need to stop focusing on new "features" and fix all the **** that does not work.
I don't do this every time, but at least once a month; I report this as a problem in the feedback section of teams itself. Sometimes I select give a compliment and then call it a negative compliment. I have a block of standard text that gets pasted in:
Hello there,
Today I received yet another new feature notification from Teams; there is no way to turn these off. This is disruptive to my workflow and pretty arrogant for someone to presume I want to read about new features. I don't care about new features; Teams is forced on me by my IT department; if I had a choice I would use a better group collaboration tool.
Please add an option to permanently display all new feature pop-ups. There is already a little notification icon on the top bar that I cannot delete; use that for these announcements.
Takes next to no time for me to fill out, but someone has to read them. I figure if MS thinks it's okay to waste my time; it must be ok for me waste one of their employees' time too.
I agree. It seems they develop software in all parts of the world an never communicate on who is doing what. Then they throw it all against a wall and hope it works after already moving on to the next debacle.
Take the admin portals.. Admin, Entra, Intune, Edu, Room, etc. They all can do about the same. It could be such a great product.
