How to Fully Close Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is a collaboration software that has been coded with plenty of accessibility options and features. One of these accessibility features is its ability to persist even after it has been closed by the user.
How to Fully Close Microsoft Teams
When the user closes Microsoft Teams on their desktop, the program leaves the user’s desktop taskbar but minimizes itself into the start toolbar of the user. This means the user will still get notifications from their Microsoft Teams even if the user has “closed” the program.
