Manage notifications in Teams

In Missed activity emails, choose how frequently you receive emails for a missed activity or turn them off entirely.

To turn off or turn on notification sounds, toggle Play sound for notifications to on.

Go to Activity  on the left side of Teams, hover over the notification that you want to change, and then select More options   .

From here, mark a notification as read or unread, and on channel notifications you can adjust what kind of activity you get notified about for that specific channel.

• To be notified about all your shown channels, select All activity

• To be notified only when you are @mentioned or when you receive replies to your messages in channels, select Mentions & replies

• For the most control over your channel notifications, select Custom

Choose the Edit button next to the category to customize how you receive notifications for that category.

Categories include Chat, Meetings, People, and Other.

Select Edit next to Chat, then choose Only show in feed for a specific category. All notifications for that type of activity will be sent to Activity  , which you can find at the top left corner of Teams.

Select Banner and feed to receive notifications as both a desktop notification and as an alert in Activity .

In a channel conversation, go to the top right corner of the original message and select More options  > Turn off notifications. 

As with muting a chat, turning off notifications to a channel conversation will stop updates for that specific conversation.

Hover on a channel in your teams list and select More options  > Channel notifications .

Choose from All activity, Off, or Custom—just as you would in settings. When you select Custom, a new window will open that has more options.
