Say goodbye to video call pop-ups (and Teams meeting blushes)

Say goodbye to video call pop-ups

Imagine this: You’re on an important video call with a client, confidently presenting your latest project updates.

Suddenly, a notification pops up on your screen from your significant other, not so discreetly reminding you about the damage your child caused during a temper tantrum this morning. Or worse, a message from your gym about your long absence.

Embarrassing, right?

We’ve all experienced the struggle of maintaining professionalism during video calls while fearing embarrassing pop-ups. But Microsoft is on the case. They’re reportedly developing a feature to save us from 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 thunder. You can say goodbye to awkward interruptions from messaging apps or reminders you’d rather keep private.

How does it work? According to reports, 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 any unexpected surprises (and blushes).

The best part? It’s not just about saving face. This feature could also enhance 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 solution. With the new feature, you can focus on what truly matters during your calls without worrying about technical hiccups or embarrassing distractions.

While we’re excited about the potential of this new feature, we’ll have to wait and see if it becomes a reality. We’ll keep a close eye on the official Microsoft 365 roadmap for any updates and will keep you informed.

In the meantime, if we can help make your business’s video calls run more smoothly, get in touch.
