Changing Notification Settings for all users on a Team

No, only the users themselves can modify their notification settings, you cannot control this on their behalf.
I suggest you all sign-in to UserVoice to vote for this enhancement request. Link: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/. If you search for "channel notifications default", you will see the same or similar request multiple times. I found and voted for five requests that I found. Here is the comment I left on each page besides voting for each enhancement request:
"I agree COMPLETELY. This same request has been requested in other UserVoice threads. Is there any reason not to allow administrators to make sure users get notified? (1) Notifications should be ON by default. (2) Administrators should be able to turn on notifications for all users for each channel."
PatrickDuganHolmes In addition, I would add that if notifications are turned on by Default, perhaps there should also be a switch that would allow only group owners to send messages to the group. I can imagine the reason for not including this option is to prevent everyone in the company from spamming everyone else on the team with Chat messages.
Jim Rice, I have that option for each channel. Use the "hamburger" for the channel and choose "manage channel" and you can change the permissions for who can post. I would like to see another layer that only admin can post and users can reply rather than only all or none.
