to accelerate graphics processing. If your computer has performance issues (such as running too slowly), selecting this option may help with your computer’s performance.
Register Teams as the chat app for Office: When selected, Teams becomes the default chat app for Office. This option is useful when you are part of an organization that is moving from Skype to Teams.
Turn on new meeting experience: Selecting this feature means you will get to experience a new meeting experience before it becomes available to all users. You get to preview a recent change or addition to the calling feature.
Enable logging for meeting diagnostics: Selecting this feature means Teams will log meeting diagnostics. The logs will be useful if there are any issues, as customer support usually looks at the diagnostic logs to help resolve any problems.
And one last general setting: You can change the language format and keyboard layout you are using.
Privacy
In the Privacy section, you will find settings to manage priority access, turn on or off read receipts, and turn on or off surveys.
Priority access defines who you will allow to interrupt you when your status is set to Do Not Disturb. For example, you might want your boss to be able to send you messages at any time, but everyone else must wait until you set your status to Available.
Read receipts is used to inform others when you read their messages. If you don’t want people to know that you have read a message, you can turn this off.
The Surveys option is a tool Microsoft uses to improve Teams. If you don’t mind giving feedback, you can leave this option on. If you don’t want to be bothered with it, then turn it off and Microsoft won’t survey you for your opinion on how to improve Teams.
Notifications
The Notifications area is where you set your preferences for how Teams should notify you about things. You can set various events to show up in your banner (a pop-up window that appears in the lower-right corner of your computer) and through email, only in your Activity feed, or turn them off completely. I cover notifications in detail in Chapter 8.
Devices
You configure the devices you are using with Teams in this settings section. A device includes things like your speaker, microphone, smartphone, headset, or camera. I cover devices in detail in Chapter 10.
Permissions
You can turn on or off permissions for Teams in this section. For example, do you want Teams to be able to use your location or be able to open external links in your web browser? You configure those permissions here.
Calls
Teams provides a full voice solution. What does this mean? It means that Teams can replace your regular telephone. In this section, you can configure how incoming calls are answered as well as setting up and configuring your voicemail and ringtones. You can also set accessibility options such as using a teletypewriter (TTY) device for people who are deaf or hearing impaired. I cover calling in detail in Chapters 11 and 12.
