Notification Granularity for Teams Mobile through Intune

Originally posted by Microsoft Jan 11, 2023 Microsoft Teams 0 Comments

Customers in fields like finance, healthcare, and law have been asking for a more granular control of what Teams Mobile shows and hides in a notification preview. In response, we are introducing an optional way for admins to control how much detail a user sees in a lock screen notification.

Note: This feature is only available to customers with Intune. If you organization does not use Intune you can safely disregard.

When this will happen:

We began rolling this out in mid-December and expect to complete by late January.

This feature is off by default. If you choose not to utilize this feature, there will be no impact on your end users or tenant.  If you would like to set up this functionality, please follow the steps below.
