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.

2024-03-06T21:34:48+00:00 Unbelievable... today new teams gave me a 100% marketing popup asking me to register for the MS 365 Community Conference in Orlando for some "AI transformation" event
Microsoft, listen to me very carefully - YOUR TEAMS USERS DO NOT WANT TO BE SPAMMED WITH MARKETING MATERIAL WHILE THEY'RE TRYING TO DO THEIR WORK. STOP THIS RIGHT NOW.
"Get ready for your AI transformation. Meet Microsoft experts and explore how AI is transforming work today at Microsoft 365 Community Conference in Orlando, April 30 - May 2nd. Register today!"
Unbelievable.

I still have a Nokia phone but I continue to see the pop ups on my desk top. What am I missing?

However, you can provide feedback to Microsoft through the Teams app and keep your Teams application up-to-date for better management of such announcements. If the pop-ups continue to be a significant disruption, reach out to your organization's IT department for help they might have policies or tools in place that could help manage these type of interruptions. Let me know if you need further assistance. Kind regards, Segunfunmi.
Thank you for your comments on this, but I agree with the majority of replies here it is not acceptable to have my workflow interrupted by unwanted pop-ups which cannot be turned off. This certainly is NOT an issue to be addressed with my company IT department but something Microsoft has to fix.
