Logged into teams and using it on PC how to stop cell phone notifications
Hi,
If you go to Teams on your mobile/cell, find settings. Scroll down to Block Notifications. The turn on the Block Notifications - When active on desktop. See the video
UncleScotty Teams is a client app on top of Windows (or mac etc), it has no idea how the operating system is connecting to the internet, it has no choice in the matter. It also can not turn on a mobile phones hotspot capability, it can't guess the password used to access that hotspot, and it can't make Windows connect to that hotspot.
None of these are things that Teams can do.
StevenC365I think you underestimate what happens with Teams. I do not have Teams on my iphone, however, if I am on a call on my iphone with someone and they try to share screens through Teams on my work computer (not connected to my phone!) my phone call is put on HOLD. I do not have Teams on my phone and have completely different login, etc for my work computer. Im trying to find out how to get Microsoft and Teams off my Personal phone when I never allowed it!
kathheu is your work computer a mac, which has a feature called Continuity that can link calls between it and the users iPhone ?

StevenC365No, my work computer is not a Mac. And no programs from my work on are on my phone. They are completely separate. I don't have Teams on my phone, but somehow Teams has power over my phone. I've been searching for how to block anything from Teams on my phone but can't find any settings that are allowing Teams to control my phone and have yet to find where they breached my privacy on my personal phone.
kathheu Are you using Bluetooth headphones of some kind connected to both PC and Phone ?
Otherwise you are implying that it can just hijack a passing device, which clearly isn't very likely.
