Imagine this: You’re on an important video call with a client, nailing your presentation on the latest project updates. Suddenly, a notification pops up on your screen from your significant other, reminding you (not so subtly) about the chaos your child caused during their morning tantrum. Or, even worse, a message from your gym reminding you of your long absence.
Talk about embarrassing, right?
We’ve all been there—trying to keep things professional during video calls while secretly dreading those unexpected pop-ups that can steal the spotlight. Well, good news! Microsoft is reportedly working on a feature that could save us all from these cringe-worthy moments.
Imagine being able to hide specific apps entirely while you’re on a Teams call. No more worrying about intrusive notifications messing up your flow. You can kiss those awkward interruptions from messaging apps or reminders you’d rather keep private goodbye.
So, how does it work? According to reports, this new feature from Microsoft won’t just minimize apps to the taskbar like the current workaround. Instead, it’ll completely hide them from sight, sparing you any unexpected surprises (and blushes).
And here’s the best part: it’s not just about saving face. This feature could also boost your device’s performance. By keeping those apps in the background, you free up valuable computing power and resources.
If you’ve ever found yourself frantically closing apps and browser windows to ensure a smooth video stream, this could be a game-changer. With the new feature, you can focus on what truly matters during your calls without worrying about technical hiccups or embarrassing distractions.
While we’re super excited about the potential of this new feature, we’ll have to wait and see if it becomes a reality. We’re keeping a close eye on the official Microsoft 365 roadmap for any updates and will definitely keep you informed.
In the meantime, if we can help make your business’s video calls run more smoothly, don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’re here to help!
