Turn off status message banner

Hello @adamfs ,

I have noticed this "feature" for sometime now, not sure when it was implemented.

I can concur with your experience, if you click the "X" on the right-hand side of the chat window to remove the status message, click into another chat window and then move into the previous chat again, the message is back!

I have gone through the Zoom client settings on Mac and Windows as well as the Account Settings, there does not appear to be a way to permanently remove the message.

I can see how it may seem annoying, but I can also understand that some may consider it helpful to "remind" users of an individual's status, so I don't think it is a bug.

If I find a way to permanently remove it, I will report back.

Hope this helps!

I'm surprised that more people have not liked or commented on this. It's a marketing message, and it's annoying. Some of us are paying for this service, and the message is trying to get more money out of us. If I need an audience of 500, I will upgrade. Zoom, please give us the option to remove these marketing messages!
