Notification tips and tricks
Here's how to get all notifications for all activity
By default, you’ll only receive notifications for teams and channels that you haven’t hidden from your teams list. To make sure you have all the channels showing that you care about, follow the directions at Show or hide teams and channels.
Once you’ve got all your channels where you want them, you’ll start receiving notifications in Activity. If you’d also like to get these notifications on your desktop, select Settings > Notifications > and select Edit under Shown channels and select Banner and feed.
And how to turn the noise down
Here's what to do to keep your focus on the activity that’s most important to you.
-
Turn off desktop notifications for activity you don’t need to respond to right away. Select either Feed only or Off.
-
Hide a channel to turn off activity and desktop notifications. Hidden channels will show in your list if a message is marked important or when someone @mentions you or the channel.
-
Set your status to Do not disturb to get some quiet time. This won’t change your notification settings, but it will mute notifications until you change your status.
