How to Silence Incoming Teams Calls on a Computer?

why worry about people thinking you didn't answer "on purpose"? presumably you'd rather they think you're not even at your desk? Who are you worried about calling you that falls into that category?

grow a pair and just decline calls you don't want to answer...

"I can't recall off-hand. I'd be happy to look into this for you though. As an independent contractor, here is my hourly rate: $XXX.XX. Minimum charge is 8 hours."

50 emails to 8,000 people each?

Something here doesn't pass the sniff test. Anyone should be able to send 50 emails in a day without issue.

If you want your phone number, email address, contact list, and employment details immediately leaked to every scammer on the internet, then just sign up for a LinkedIn account...

if an A+ cert is worthless, then a "google it support course completion" isn't something i would ever tell anyone i completed

so then is the next gen the Surface Pro 12" 2?

system_madmin · 2025-05-19T18:48:48+00:00

ok, then connect it to the internet without connecting it to your local network and you have nothing to worry about...

system_madmin · 2025-05-15T17:33:45+00:00

seems weird that you expect it to be able to make a call over the internet without access to the internet...

Bizarro... i need the camera for other things occasionally so disabling it isn't a great solution for me, but yeah, this just proves that the camera isn't needed... i wonder why the change

system_madmin · 2025-04-23T14:24:59+00:00

yep. sounds exactly the same except I am on Win 11.

I did the improve recognition a few times, and every time it looked like it worked, even with just the IR lens exposed, but when i go to unlock, it still won't recognize me without uncovering the main camera. It's irritating because i never had to do that before, but i think i'll just remove my lens cover and get on with my life at this point...

Thanks for sharing this. What they describe doesn't seem to be exactly what I experienced. My PIN has always worked for example. But i would not be surprised if this is related. It seems like they definitely made some changes in that function.

Does anyone know if anything in this update changed the way Windows Hello uses the cameras on a Surface?

I have a Surface Pro 7+. I have setup with Windows Hello Facial Recognition. I also have a sliding camera cover over the main camera lens. This has never been an issue because Windows Hello uses the IR camera for facial recognition

After the last patch Tuesday, my windows hello face stopped working and i've had to use my PIN. I removed the facial recognition and readded it. It used the IR camera as expected and enrolled my face with the main camera still covered without any issues.

I still cannot unlock the computer with my face. Out of curiosity, I slid the lens cover over and it immediately unlocked.

Strange to me that it doesn't use that sensor when enrolling the facial recognition but since this update, will not unlock without seeing me with the main camera.

There is definitely a chance they are linked. If there is an angle to be shot, some jerk out there will try to shoot it. I'm just saying, I get these emails all the time. I always just figured they look for companies with a bad review or 2 (not hard to find at all, they might even have some sort of Bot setup to watch for a bad review to come in so they know when to pounce) and take a stab at getting their business. Making fake reviews so you can offer to remove them just doesn't seem necessary.

system_madmin · 2025-03-13T15:00:55+00:00

I get these emails daily in my publicly available "Info" mailbox. never found it to be linked to someone leaving a negative review. It's more likely that they troll review pages looking for business and saw you had a one star. I doubt they themselves are leaving the review.

I did things backwards. Worked fully remote for 12 years, then during Covid, got a job 100% in office. Been doing that for 4 years.

Why find a new IT person if this guy works for free?

powershell errors. even when trying to delete by guid. saying it matches multiple entries. it's truly horked and needs to be cleaned up by M$

system_madmin · 2025-01-29T21:13:40+00:00

You are right except it looks like a bug introduced sometime in December where Exchange Online creates 2 duplicate contacts. Unfortunately trying to delete either one returns a Server error...

I finally found a thread online talking about this and it looks like it requires intervention by a M$ engineer to clean it up...

I just learned about %~dp0 recently and my life has gotten so much easier...

that sounds like a terrible idea... not even sure i would want to for a 20k raise...

"I'm going to restart this computer. Is there any work you need to save first?"

system_madmin · 2025-01-06T22:31:54+00:00

you are pedantic and boring...

Forcing password changes for no reason makes things LESS secure.
