Microsoft Teams Notification Sounds - Can't turn off???
I work at a rather large organization and we just switched to using Microsoft Teams. So far it has been great but what is driving me nuts is the Notification for new messages. I can't find it anywher...
EricaMG this too was driving me nuts, I went into notifications and changed 'chat messages' from 'banner' to off.
This resolved my issue, I don't need to see every time there is a chat message, but if I'm mentioned or called it still alerts me.
I would prefer to keep the banner notification and simply eliminate the sound.
What sound does this play? Is it the default ding.wav file? If that is the case we can replace this sound file with a wav file that makes no sound. Microsoft - can you please tell us what default sound file is being used?
Is there a registry setting to change what sound it uses? Personally, I have the NO SOUNDS Theme loaded on my sound control panel as I don't like sounds for every little action. I only like to have sounds for specific apps that I need. So if it uses ding.wav, I am ok replacing that with a soundless wav file.
I do want Teams to "ding" me to get my attention when I receive messages during the rest of the day, and I don't want to have to turn on/off the dign'ing before and after meetings by editing a .wav file. Also, the pop-ups themselves are very distracting.
Microsoft, please do not close this with a half-assed solution or work-a-round!
