It's distracting to get a chat message when a meeting has started or ended
This should be a notification option that you can turn off. Currently you see a chat item for your attention. You go to it only to see that the meeting you just started, or just ended, started or ended. You already know that, and the notification is just wasting your time.

We are happy to announce this feature is released. By default meeting chats will be muted until send a message in the chat, or join the online meeting. To change these defaults, go to your profile picture at the top right of the app, select Settings > Notifications. From there, scroll to the meetings section and open the menu next to Meeting chat notifications.

during a meeting, if you are a participant, the banner keeps popping up if someone is joining, leaving speaking, etc. it is very distracting

seems like an obvious fix that should have been implemented by now...seriously 1 year to "test"? I can appreciate that maybe some on the team will not want to be a part of every call, if that is the case then give the individuals an option to adjust "meet now" notifications accordingly.

Is there any update on this? We're using both team chats and individual chats as we implement Microsoft Teams in our organisation but it's failing predominantly due to the lack of notification for the team element.

One year testing for a very small feature ? Why ?

+1, any news on the ETA of this feature?

There should be an option to at least 'pause' or 'delay' the start message. We have organizer who join meetings early to prepare/set-up - folks are getting prompts that a meeting has started and are joining 10 - 15 minutes early before the organizer is prepared.

I second Varun's comment-- if I haven't joined a meeting, I'm getting chat messages from attendees anyway that are completely out of context and therefore useless because I'm not listening to the audio. Useless pop-up clutter on the desktop. At this point, I'd rather shut off ALL desktop notifications than this silly nonsense. Thanks Microsoft!

How can I disable messages in teams when I have not joined a meeting.I get messages in teams even when I have not joined the call.

I vote to get rid of the notifications IN THE CHAT window. It would be appropriate to highlight in the Meetings app, and have an OPTION to push ALL or NONE of meetings into the Activity feed. Also, put a dot on the Meetings Icon, to show one of my meetings is in session (or maybe a different color dot, if the meeting is pending?). But it should not be in the Chat screen. noise and distraction.

I agree that the ended meeting is redundant. But the started notification seems useful if you aren't the one starting the meeting.

+1 The most annoying part of this is that it sends you this notification, even when you are in the meeting that has just ended. Like no need to tell me it ended. i'm the one who ended it.

Just piling on. :) We have a meeting scheduled daily and even though I'm a participant, I am annoyed by getting a notification that the meeting ended.
In fact, as I was typing this, an employee who was late to the meeting joined and left resulting in a pair of messages.
Instead, it might be nice to have an indicator that meetings I have access to are taking place - a "Meetings in progress" indicator. Then I could click it, see the meeting name and who is participating, then select which one to join.
Also, it's odd to me that the meeting (which is for everyone on my Team) appears under "Chat" which to me is more often an one-on-one interaction, instead of the Teams section.
So... I'd expect this daily team meeting to happen under the #General channel of our Team instead of as a separate meeting under chat. Listing it under #General would also put it at the appropriate place within the message flow.

Remove the notification about ended meetings or make it an optional configuration.

+1 . This notification is pure _noise_, not useful _at all_. We don't need noise. Please remove.

Another related case: I was added to a reoccurring meeting one time and now I get notified in my chat list every day when the meeting starts and ends. There is no way to suppress these notifications even if I'm not an attendee of the meeting.

+1, Skype for Business had that feature and it kept me on time for S4B Meetings. Trying to use Teams as the go forward, but miss that feature in Skype greatly! If it helps, to enable it in Skype for Business client you went to Options, Skype Meetings, and then uncheck the "Don't show notifications when Outlook is running" and Skype would give me a toast with a "Join" or "Ignore" option when the meeting started. Seems like an easy feature to add/port over to Teams.

Can’t believe it’s not possible to disable this super annoying feature .. especially that completely useless meeting ended nonsense

I think these chat messages are distracting, especially when the meeting ends. You think there is something that you need to go back and look at. It wastes time and is an unnecessary distraction.
