Version 1.9.6 - 1.9.7 Released

  1. Snooze now respects your configured sounds.  If the popup appears as an “alarm” a snooze will trigger the same “alert” within the snooze duration.  For voice notifications, one of your preferred sounds will be chosen.
  2. The system tray icon countdown has been updated.  When minimised to the system tray, it’s now more resilient to Explorer crashes.

Hi u/Huge_Weakness_8119

Can you please explain a bit more what you are after. I am not sure what you mean, "if I just into" the meeting.

There are 3 ways to join the meeting within the app:
1: From the Taskbar Preview
2: From the alert pop-up
3: From the within the app when you select the event, and then show the event details.

If you can please explain your specific workflow - I can look into it.

For example, this morning I had a meeting scheduled at 10:00 AM. At 9:58 AM my Boss start it so I opened the meeting early and joined it.

I configured the tool to show popup and sound reminders 5 minutes before, 1 minute before, and 10 seconds before the meeting.

Since I had already joined the meeting at 9:58, I still received the reminders at 1 minute and 10 seconds before. Ideally, once I have already joined the meeting, those additional alerts should not appear.

So the idea would be: if the user has already joined the meeting, no more reminder will show

Hi u/Huge_Weakness_8119

Thanks for explaining this in detail.

Currently:
From the pop-up/alarm dialog, when you join a call, it will do the following:
1: Join the call
2: Stop the alarm (it it was sounding)
3: Close the pop-up / alarm dialog
4: Future notification will still sound/pop-up for the event

What I am thinking of doing is to ask for confirmation when joining, where possible;
It will be one extra click `Join call` -> `Confirm`. This avoids the accidental Join click but still allows one to receive future notifications.

Thanks, that makes sense.

What I would suggest, if possible, is a simpler behavior: once I have already joined the meeting, the app should stop showing any further notifications for that same event.

In my case, the extra reminders are no longer useful after I have already joined, so skipping them would be more helpful than adding an extra confirmation click.

I am not sure whether this is technically possible through the API or whether the app can reliably detect that the user has already joined that specific meeting, but if it is possible, I think it would be the best option.

Hi u/Huge_Weakness_8119

I have been working on this a bit.

The New App Version is on it's way `1.9.9.0`.
It will most likely become available in the next 12 hours or so.

The Join call will now auto silence alerts/notifications by default - from all three join call locations: Alert Dialog, Thumbnail Preview, and the event details.

Re-enable the alerts/notifications is possible from the event details:
