To be truthful, I’ve never thought much about the need to hide my video from myself, but a bunch of people support the idea in the Microsoft Feedback portal saying things like “ It’s so annoying to have your own picture in your face all the time at meetings” and “ It’s exhausting and distracting seeing yourself on the video all the time.” More importantly, a contributor notes that, “ Hiding self-view is critical for individuals with special needs (and all persons for that matter) to reduce/eliminate distractions and improve therapeutic focus.” This is obviously an issue that matters to a great number of people who want to share their video with other meeting participants without seeing themselves (which rules out simply disabling your video). In other words, a user sees the video feeds from other participants but doesn’t see their own feed.Īccording to Microsoft, not being able to suppress their video feed leads to “ meeting fatigue” because people are “ constantly processing our own image during calls.” This means that users are constantly drawn to check out their video (possibly to check that they’re not committing a social gaffe like wearing unmatched clothes, having unbrushed hair, etc., which is the kind of thing I do). MC310349 (updated January 11, Microsoft 365 roadmap item 86370) describes the second change, which introduces the ability for a user to hide their video feed on the “stage” used by Teams to display the feeds of meeting participants. Muting of meeting notifications is now available in the preview version of Teams.Ī “block notifications when in meetings” setting is also available in the Teams mobile client. You can also use this option to reenable notifications if you block them during a meeting. If I need to enable notifications for a call, the Allow notifications option is available. I’ve chosen to disable notifications for all meetings. The default is to allow notifications during meetings, which reflects current behavior.įigure 2: Option to mute notifications during an active meeting A general setting for meetings (Figure 1) turns notifications on or off for all meetings. In this case, two controls are available. Individuals differ in their ability to ignore frequent pinging, but there’s no doubt that it’s good to be able to suppress notifications while a meeting is in progress.
If you’re a busy Teams user involved in multiple chats and channel conversations, there’s no doubt that many notifications can arrive during a meeting. Microsoft characterizes the issue as “ highly distracting” and say that the lack of any way to disable notifications during meetings as “ highly painful.” Microsoft 365 message center notification MC312489 (updated January 13, Microsoft 365 roadmap item 87452) describes a problem where the focus of meeting participants can be interrupted by Teams notifications.
