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.
Thanks!! So to clarify, after switching in the Action Center - Notifications, find the "Teams settings" I turned off "Play a sound when a notification arrives" and it still rings for phone calls! That's great. I was also able to turn off Banners there.
Of course, IM's are now also muted... So you have to train yourself to look for the notification dot. Banners are not a solution because I don't look at my screen a lot of the time, I just come back to it every half hour or so. This is why you can't let developers design the UI behavior, because they never take their eyes off their screens... Microsoft will apparently never learn this.
