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.

    Amen. This is the biggest time waster and it's annoying. It serves no useful function except to waste time.

    fully agree, Microsoft needs to provide a user control for every feature and function that teams provide so we can decide what is best for each of us as individuals.

    For my use cases, the new Teams is clearly worse than the old one. I could grumpily accept that there is no longer a way to be notified when a colleague becomes available again, but the self-adulations from Teams distracting me at the worst moments are too much. The next one will result in me switching back and hoping the forced switch to the new Teams will be a long way off.

    Instead of fancy features that need to be marketed aggressively, how about fixing the real problems, like the missing export for several posts from chats? I could even live with the workaround available for channel conversations (i.e., share to Outlook).

    Hi Troyjack

    Welcome to the forum. My name is Segunfunmi, and I am an Independent Advisor and Microsoft user just like you. I appreciate you reaching out to me with your query.

    Turning off Microsoft Teams pop-ups alerts Here’s how to hide banner desktop alerts in Teams:

    Open Microsoft Teams desktop or web client. Hit your user icon on the right-hand side of your upper Teams bar. Then, hit Manage Account to open your Teams Settings. From the left-hand side of your Settings dialogue, select Notifications. Then, hit the Custom button.

    I took the above steps from the following link. Please check the link for more details.
