Today’s tip is a rerun of a tip we shared back in 2010, but it’s still a good one, so we’re running it again today. Please note, though, that the demo video was filmed back when we were using Outlook 2007--now we use Outlook 2013. Worry not, though! The first two ways I show you are still accurate. The third way is outdated and is probably a method you wouldn't use anyway.
Today’s Topic: Learn how to turn off (or on) the New Message Alert Notification feature of Outlook.
Who? Users who don’t want to be embarrassed when new messages pop up for others to see while they are presenting. Also, users who find themselves easily distracted while working on a project may benefit from turning off this feature.
Why? Because it can be distracting, and sometimes embarrassing, for those watching your presentation.
How? Watch this short screencast:
Disabling the Outlook New Message Alert Notification from 10Tech on Vimeo.
(Note: This demonstration features Windows 7 operating system and Office 2007—we are currently using Outlook 2013, but the steps outlined in the first half of the video are still correct.)
