Disable Teams Notification Previews for Microsoft Bookings

Hi,


As an IT Support worker, I'm helping users transition to Windows 11 using Microsoft's Online Bookings and Appointment Scheduling tool. When meeting with clients, I connect my laptop to a screen using an HDMI cable. Sometimes, this screen displays Microsoft Teams messages from users who may not be tech-savvy, which could lead to embarrassment in front of their colleagues.


Is there a way to automatically hide message previews during MS booking meetings to protect client privacy, without manually turning notifications on and off?


To clarify, these meetings are generated in Outlook and Teams through the booking system. The MS Booking system is the primary event, with Outlook and Teams events created as a result.

Here is an in-depth answer to your question:
