One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Teams is that it\u2019s an all-in-one tool, where you can chat<\/a>, have r\u00e9unions<\/a>, share files<\/a>, collaborate and do much more. But that also implies a lot of notifications, and depending on how to use them, notifications can be either a blessing or a curse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one wants to wake up to 100+ notifications in Teams or spend an hour after their lunch break figuring out what the notifications are about. But truth be told, they constantly save the day – whether it\u2019s a reminder about a meeting you had totally forgotten about or a @mention that brings your attention to an important matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve found yourself in a similar \u201ccan’t live with them, can’t live without them<\/em>\u201d situation then you\u2019re in the right place. In this article, we will help you understand the types of notifications in Microsoft Teams and how to configure them based on your needs and wants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you need to know about notifications in Microsoft Teams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For your convenience, we\u2019ve identified 5 important things that you need to know about Microsoft Teams notifications that will allow you to customize them more efficiently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

#1 Where should I get started?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Holy Grail of Microsoft Teams notifications is the feed, which is the little Activity<\/em> bell icon located in the upper left corner of the app. If you click on the Param\u00e8tres <\/em>icon, it\u2019ll directly take you to the Notification Settings. You can also find the Notification Settings by selecting the three dots on the upper right corner (next to your profile picture), then Settings \u2192 Notifications. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should also familiarize yourself with the UX of this Setting section since this is where you\u2019ll be doing the customization of your notifications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 The types of notification settings in Microsoft Teams   <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The management of Microsoft Teams notifications start from understanding what kind of notifications you receive. Microsoft Teams sends you four different notification settings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Banner <\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    This is the most common type of notification. It\u2019s the banner message pop-up that appears in the lower right corner of your desktop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Banner and feed<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      If this setting is enabled, you will not only get a pop-up message, but also see it in your feed.  Like all other apps and tools, the activity bell will have a red number on it that indicates how many notifications you have, so there is no way you\u2019ll miss them.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Only show in feed <\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        This means that the notifications will be compiled and visible only in your feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. Arr\u00eat<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          This one is rather self-explanatory, and a tempting choice for many Microsoft Teams users. If you enable the Arr\u00eat <\/em>setting, you won\u2019t receive any notifications – neither as a pop-up nor in your feed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          <\/div>\n\n\n\n

          #3 The default notification settings <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Microsoft Teams has different default notification settings for different activities, and not all settings are available for all activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          For instance, the default settings for Chats are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
