-
Include all replies will notify you any time someone replies to a conversation
-
Channel mentions will notify you whenever someone @mentions the channel
Selecting Banner and feed will send notifications to your device and to Activity at the top left of Teams. Selecting Only show in feed will skip sending notifications to your desktop and will only show up in your activity feed.
