Como bloquear e desbloquear en PC e Mac
Desafortunadamente, aínda non pode bloquear usuarios nun escritorio en Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams para escritorios actualmente só está dispoñible para uso laboral e non para uso persoal. As políticas de Microsoft Team permítenche só bloquear usuarios da túa conta persoal.
Polo tanto, como só podes usar contas de lugar de traballo na aplicación de escritorio e na aplicación web, polo momento non poderás bloquear usuarios cando utilices o teu sistema de escritorio. Teña en conta que os usuarios móbiles tamén só poden bloquear usuarios nas súas contas persoais.
Microsoft Teams desactiva a posibilidade de bloquear usuarios cando se usa unha conta de traballo para manter a transparencia e evitar un mal uso desta función. Sábese que os empregados ignoran ou perden actualizacións importantes debido á capacidade de bloquear usuarios.
Ademais, tamén provocou bloqueos accidentais que tamén impiden que os usuarios da organización accedan a información vital. De aí que se desactive a posibilidade de bloquear usuarios para todos os usuarios cunha conta de traballo.
Non obstante, aínda podes silenciar e ocultar usuarios se estás a usar unha conta de traballo. Isto debería manterlos fóra da túa sección de chat e evitar futuras notificacións que poidan perturbar ou interromper o teu fluxo de traballo. Vexamos como pode ocultar/silenciar usuarios en Teams cando se utiliza unha conta do lugar de traballo.
