Teams: Disable New Feature Popups?

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.

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 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.

AMEN!!! Especially since often they add a new undesirable feature, and take something I liked away!

No fix?? I can just use Slack.

Thanks Microsoft for your heavy handed sales tactics.
