Microsoft Teams notifications

Microsoft Teams offers different ways to access, receive, and manage notifications. These settings include how, when, and where your notifications appear, custom settings for channels and chat, appearance and sounds, turning off specific messages, and so on.

Important: 

• Microsoft Windows can block notifications before they appear in Teams. Follow the instructions in Change notification and action settings in Windows 10 to make sure that your system settings allow apps (including Teams) to send notifications to you.
• If you’re using macOS version 10.15 and above, follow the instructions at Use notifications on your Mac.

To manage your notifications, select Settings and more  in the top right of Teams, then select  Settings > Notifications.
