Say Goodbye to Embarrasing Video Calls Popups

Picture this: you’re confidently presenting your latest project updates on an important video call with a client. Suddenly, a notification pops up from your significant other, reminding you (not so discreetly) about the damage your child did during their temper tantrum this morning. Or worse, a message from your gym about your long absence. Embarrassing, right?

We’ve all been there, trying to maintain our professionalism while dreading those unexpected pop-ups. But guess what? Microsoft is stepping in to save the day. They’re reportedly working on an exciting new feature that could put an end to these cringe-worthy moments.

Imagine being able to hide specific apps entirely while you’re on a Teams call. No more worrying about intrusive notifications stealing your spotlight. Say goodbye to awkward interruptions from messaging apps or reminders you’d rather keep private.

How does it work? Microsoft’s new feature won’t just minimize apps to the taskbar like the current workaround. Instead, it will completely hide them from sight, sparing you from unexpected surprises (and blushes).

And here’s the best part: it’s not just about saving face. This feature could also help boost your device’s performance. By keeping those apps in the background, you free up valuable computing power and resources.

If you’ve ever found yourself frantically closing apps and browser windows to ensure a smooth video stream, this could be the end of that struggle. With this new feature, you can focus on what truly matters during your calls without worrying about technical hiccups or embarrassing distractions.

While we’re eagerly anticipating this new feature, we’ll have to wait and see if it becomes a reality. We’ll be keeping a close eye on the official Microsoft 365 roadmap for any updates and will keep you informed. Stay tuned!
