Responsive to receipt of a first instant message during a first mode operation of an instant messaging program while a computer is driving an exposed output device, the first instant message is blocked. Responsive to receipt of a second instant message during a second mode operation while the computer is driving the exposed output device, an identification of a sender of the second instant message is displayed and a query is issued to determine whether instant message content should be displayed on the exposed output device. Responsive to receipt of a third instant message during a third mode operation while the computer is driving the exposed output device, it is determined that a sender of the third instant message is on a priority list, an identification of the sender is displayed, and a query is issued to determine whether instant message content should be displayed on the exposed output device.
