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.
Agree. When I have 100 colleagues turning up to a dpt meeting and all of them sign in saying "hello", I have 100 dings going off on my phone. Do I need to hear a notification for a simple "hello", "thanks", "bye"? Maybe something like a spam filter for "hello", or messages that are less than 15 characters long or something.
RobMSP, Let's drive this issue to the top of the list. The extreme problem is the freaking sound that is used for a chat notification and the inability to change the sound to something else like a "mouse squeak" or a quiet chime. The current sound literally increases my blood pressure by several points. Especially when people in a chat type three or four words, then hit enter only to repeat this process a dozen times to complete their thought. (1 Thought should not EQUAL 12 DINGS!!!) much less 100 DINGS as D_Tetard mentioned above.
Muting notifications is an option, but not really. I still want to be notified that there is a new message, but far less intrusively. There is not enough granularity in the notifications. Teams should at minimum, have the same granularity of controlling notifications and sounds that Skype does. Especially BEFORE you replace Skype with Teams - oh wait, too late....
Please help us poor users maintain our sanity and blood pressure and give us the ability to control the notifications in more granular manner and change the sounds being used!
PLEASE!
Your fellow Teams user, GregIf this issue isn't resolved soon, I will be lobbying my organisation to change software.
Microsoft, do your job! Listen to your users! Issue an update with notification sound control NOW!!!!
- Yes, please. For the love of god please make this feature more convenient. It's like Microsoft purposely did this at this point.
Have a filter that will ding when you are @ in the conversation. That way it doesn't look like I'm intentionally ignoring everyone.
Or, have something that will allow the ding to stop if you can see the conversation but don't have the focus of the mouse on the Teams app.
Or, have something that will allow the ding to stop in a conversation except when you are @
Or, do anything to make the ding stop on a conversation that is constantly going. There is an email version which tells me when I have the Teams off and alerts me to new Teams messages. Could you please create a ding option where it only dings every 15 minutes or something?
I mean, at this point, it doesn't seem like Microsoft really cares about anything or anyone really. Just keep doing you I guess.
