Skype for Business Client and Outlook Delegate announcement

Brass Contributor

We think it is great that when someone provides a user Delegate access from Outlook Calendar, that the Delegate is provided a message bar in the SKype Client. 

But, how do you turn it off, once you know about it?

 

Admins are getting frustrated that their Skype CLient is being overrun (visual space) with these delegate announcements.

 

Anyone know how to turn them off, once they are viewed.   You can "x" it, but it comes back next time you reboot/launch.  At first I thought it was a non-issue until I saw an admin that was a delegate for 6 executives.   I now see that this is a undesired effect of a good feature.

Hi David. That is not the normal behavior. Once you hit X on a PC, that alert should go away for good. I believe these are tracked in the Registry, so you should only see these reappear if you login to a different PC.
