New Policy to Disable Some In-Product Messages in Teams

In a welcome update, the Teams development group have provided a new policy setting to control the display of some in-product messages in Teams clients. The policy can only be updated with PowerShell. Some other Microsoft 365 development groups need to follow Teams and offer paying customers a way to suppress the annoying in-product ads.

Microsoft Posts In-Product Ads in SharePoint Online

While working with SharePoint Online yesterday, an in-product ad for a Microsoft 365 conference popped up.

I have no idea why Microsoft is doing this, but if you don’t like it, please let them know.
