Microsoft reannounced the Teams policy to suppress certain categories of in-product advertising messages but has done nothing to control Teams pop-up messages that irritate users. The volume of pop-up messages appears to have increased, or maybe it’s my frustration level that’s rising. A simple setting to turn informational pop-up messages would be appreciated.
A change to the Teams update policy allows tenants to connect Teams preview mode for the desktop client with Office Current Channel (Preview) for the Microsoft 365 apps for enterprise. When the change happens in late July, accounts configured to use Office Current Channel (preview) will automatically use Teams preview. It’s kind of logical because Teams is so closely connected to Office. In any case, settings are available in the Teams update policy if you want to move away from the enabled by default status favored by Microsoft.
