Turn Off Notifications for Outlook
By default outlook displays a notification when you receive an email. As teachers we often don't want this since it will show students the title of our emails as we are connected to a projector. Here's how to turn that off.
Step-by-step guide
- Open the Outlook Program
- Click File, then Options
- Scroll down to "Message arrival" pane and uncheck "Display a Desktop Alert"
- I also like to turn off "Play a sound" and "change the mouse pointer"
- I prefer to leave the 'Show an envelope icon in the taskbar" because that way, i can see some reminder to check my email"
- Click "OK" to save your changes.
- Now, you should no longer receive the desktop alert that shows your email.
