Teams Only cutover
We plan on cutting over all our users to Teams Only mode in a few weeks. A couple of questions for anyone who has done this.
"Notify the Skype for Business user" - I planned on turning this on org wide a few weeks prior. Any idea how long it typically takes to show up? If you close it out, does it re-appear? I haven't been able to find many technical details on this setting.
Any gotchas on flipping an org with about 5500 users to Teams Only? I planned on doing this later at night, so when users start up the following day it will be applied and Skype will be disabled.
Thanks!

- Joe McGowan, Enable Notification on Friday Evening, Teams takes few hours to display. By the way what is your Infra ? What About Enterprise voice.
Joe McGowan just FYI because I wasted a lot of my time chasing the notifications to users.
The users will not receive anything in e-mail.
If you read my post you will see what experience the users will have. Just a highlighted banner in the Skype for Business app.
Hi Joe McGowan,
When you enable "Notify the Skype for Business user" it can take a few hours to propagate the setting.
As you have mention, the best practice is to activate this for example in a Friday night, few weeks before change to Teams Only and to inform also the users about the change.
Is advised that you create a Change Management Program with champions within the size of the organization and prepare all before all dates.

Also is advised to contract a company with experience with this kind of project that also has other practices and will help you better on this Journey.
