How to silence the activity feed?
How do I silence the activity feed in Teams? It provides nothing of value, but I can't find a way to get it stop notifying me of pointless things, like someone giving a thumbs up to a post somewhere...
- This doesn't apply at the organization level, which means each user must turn it off from their client.
- This doesn't help, you still have redundant notifications. The activity feed app is more the useless, it's broken. Before post a reply you should understand the question and make sure your replay addresses the issue.
Hi All,
Please note that the instructions provided in the link take you to 'general' Teams settings (that can also be accessed thru the ellipses menu to the left of your profile pic). Although the page instructions would lead one to believe that the 'Notification and access' settings, when accessed thru the Activity feed, are unique to the Activity feed, these are in fact the 'general' settings used by Teams. Accordingly, you'll see that any changes made to the settings thru the Activity path are displayed on the 'general' settings (it's two different paths to the same page). You can not turn off all Activity notifications without turning off all notifications.

Agreed, the activity feed in Microsoft Teams is useless and redundant and a waste of productive time if you're managing notifications across Microsoft products. You can turn each off I think, but the default behavior is a bit frustrating.
- I only want to silence the activity feed, not all channels. The activity feed is the useless one. I haven't found any notification settings that specify they affect the activity feed only.
- It's in there, turn the "likes" and whatever off.
- That doesn't fix the root issue -- messages in the activity feed show as read if you were already in the chat where they occurred.
The same needs to happen for reactions.
