Say goodbye to video call pop-ups (and Teams meeting blushes)
Imagine this scenario: You’re deep in an important video call with a client, confidently sharing your latest project updates. Just then, a notification pops up from your partner, bluntly reminding you of the chaos caused by your child’s morning tantrum. Or worse, a reminder from your gym pointing out your prolonged absence. Awkward, isn’t it?
We’ve all been there, juggling professionalism during video calls while silently dreading embarrassing interruptions. But fear not, Microsoft is on the case. They’re reportedly developing a much-needed feature that could rescue us from these cringe-worthy moments.
Picture this – the ability to discreetly hide specific apps while you’re on a Teams call. No more fretting over intrusive notifications hogging the limelight. Say goodbye to unwelcome interruptions from messaging apps or reminders you’d rather keep to yourself.
How does it work, you ask? According to reports, Microsoft’s innovative feature won’t just minimize apps to the taskbar like the current workaround. Instead, it will completely conceal them from view, shielding you from any unexpected surprises (and subsequent blushes).
And here’s the cherry on top – it’s not just about saving face. This feature could also enhance your device’s performance. By keeping those apps in the background, you’ll liberate valuable computing power and resources.
If you’ve ever found yourself frantically closing apps and browser windows to ensure a seamless video stream, consider this the end of that struggle. With this new feature, you can concentrate on what truly matters during your calls without fretting over technical glitches or embarrassing distractions.
While we eagerly anticipate the potential of this feature, we’ll have to wait and see if it materializes. Rest assured, we’re keeping a vigilant watch on the official Microsoft 365 roadmap for updates and will keep you in the loop.
In the interim, if you need assistance in enhancing your business’s video call efficiency, feel free to reach out.
