Microsoft Teams: Suppress Annoying Message Pop-ups

Problem

Wow! Who at Microsoft Teams thought that enabling that by default was a good idea? I was on a large conference call this morning, (about 150 people). Every message to the message feed was spewing onto my screen and making a noise during the meeting!

Thought: Why do ALL developers think it’s a good idea to have pop-up banner massages appear top right of the screen, (where your windows control buttons and things live), why not bottom right?

Anyway, I want them off completely, (if I want to read the messages I’ll open the message feed window!)

Microsoft Teams Notifications

Click your picture/Initials > Settings.

Chat > Edit.

Set as shown > Back to settings.

You may also want to alter, Notifications Section > Custom.

I’ve disabled ‘Banner’ for EVERYTHING and set them to only show in the feed.

RSS Error – Your feed appears to be encoded as “UTF8”, but your server is reporting “US-ASCII”

Problem

I don’t validate and check the sites RSS feed as often as I should, but post server migration I got this error;

This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.
Your feed appears to be encoded as “UTF8”, but your sever is reporting “US-ASCII”

Solution

As you can see by the section I’ve indicated above, I can see where the UTF-8 is being set on the page. I just need my server (CentOS with Apache2) to allow it.

1. Edit (or create a file in the same directory as the RSS XML file) .htaccess and add the following lines to the end.

[box]

# Add the UTF-8 Character Set
AddCharset UTF-8 .xml

[/box]

2. The restart Apache.

[box]

service https restart

[/box]
