Tired of Teams? Meet Macintosh style from 1985 with VMCO.
I wonder if this could be ported to #GlobalTalk? 🤔

Me (in a training session): "Can we change the Teams chat notification sound? it's really obnoxious during a meeting"
Presenter: "no, you can't change that"
Me: "really? is it just disabled for everyone by the admin?"
Another attendee: "if you uncheck this seemingly-unrelated checkbox you can"

(they were right)

To address two potential objections I ran across:

1. "Disabled buttons have poor contrast and are bad for accessibility" Redesign them!
2. "People don't know why the button is disabled" Tell them!

(These are design problems that should be solved whether or not the button is disabled.)

(I would cite the Apple HIG here, but my copy dates from before the Mac had disabled buttons, oops) #uxdesign #ux
