Block Teams meeting chat notifications for meetings you don't attend
- May 03, 2019AFAIK, no! But you can connect to meeting and then go to the meeting chat in the chat tab , right click and inactivate notifications for it
jimmitcha, I think it's working as expected for me and I haven't heard continued complaints from our end users, although I'm not often in this situation. Is it possible that your user has an older client installed? I'm running 1.3.00.8663.
Alex Carlock Teams still exhibits exactly the behavior described by the OP. Chats pop up (annoyingly) for meetings that are on my calendar but that I have not joined.

biteme1160 , check to be sure that Settings --> Notifications --> Meeting chat notifications is set to Mute until I join or send a message. I'm not sure if that gets set by default after the proper update.

Alex CarlockI read your message. I don't find Setting anywhere in the desktop app either on Windows or Linux. Can you help?

kaiponte To get to the settings, click on your profile picture. (I'm sure there's an alternate universe where that makes perfect sense and is intuitively obvious to users.)

Alex Carlock Well, I had to google to find out that to get to "Settings" I have to click on my profile picture (I miss the old menu conventions where I always knew how to find things). But when I figured that out I found that it's actually set as you described. But I still get chat message notifications for a meeting that I have not joined. I think it somehow adds me to a "team" whenever I'm invited to a meeting, and then I get chats that people participating in the meeting are posting. That's undesirable behavior.

biteme1160 , sorry I left out that beginning part. They do bury things. Your screenshot looks different from mine. I see the setting is set properly, but I wonder if there's something different in your client than mine. What version are you running? You can find that by going to your picture --> about --> version. I'm running 1.3.00.12058 64-bit on windows 10.
