Blurring Teams messages when sharing screen

Question

Is there a feature which allows to have messages in MS Teams (not pop-ups, but entire message window) to be automatically blurred when in screen sharing mode? Or, alternatively, not to allow MS Teams messages to be shown in screen sharing mode? It has happened to me that I was sharing my screen, and e.g. forgot that I was sharing my screen or I moved one window and MS Teams was just behind, and everyone could see my conversations.

Dear Li Dia,

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to assist you.

For the scenario you mentioned, it sounds a little interesting:), but based on my reasearch and test, there is currently no feature in Microsoft Teams that allows you to automatically blur the messages window during a screen sharing session. To avoid accidentally sharing your conversations, you can either minimize the Teams window or move it to a different monitor before starting the screen sharing session.

However, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Microsoft continuously strives to improve its products and to provide a better experience to its consumers. Since I think your idea is really constructive. I will report this to Microsoft. Meanwhile, I sincerely suggest you post this precious suggestion to Microsoft.
