With the service release 2211, microsoft has brought a cool new feature called organizational message. These are different ways to contact users via different good looking messages to improve end-user communication and experience. This offers additional possibilities to the existing Notification Bar messages from Windows 10 and older.
These messages can be delivered as a popup above the taskbar, in the notification area or in the Get Started app.

A small disadvantage is that this feature is currently only supported only for Windows 11 devices.
