Notification Types
Once in, you’ll see notifications for three different subheadings.
Notification Settings: Banner, In feed, Email
- Banner
Banner notifications are larger notifications which appear at the corner of your screen whenever you’re mentioned individually or as a team in any channel/group. You’ll also get a banner notification when someone messages you personally. As stated, you can always change what you receive this notification for. Note: The banner notification will also indicate if the alert you’ve received is from a message, reply, etc. - Banner and Email
Microsoft Teams notifications can also be sent to your inbox alongside a banner notification to ensure that you’re alerted on all fronts. You can also configure Teams to send scheduled emails for your notifications, the frequency can be adjusted as follows:- As soon as possible
- Once every 10 mins
- Once every hour (default)
- In Feed
Alerts can also appear in your feed, this is a section that displays all previous and new notifications. This can be found by navigating to the Activity Tab - Sound
You can also enable auditory Microsoft Teams desktop notifications, and you’ll be able to select from three options:
- All – you’ll be alerted via sound for all messages, from all channels you’re part of, whether you’re mentioned or not (we recommend not selecting this to reduce clutter)
- Call, mention, and chat – notifications will only appear when you’re called, someone private messages you, or when you’re mentioned
- Off – this will disable all sound notifications
