Respect Focus Assist
Teams should respect Windows Focus Assist settings. I'm not even sure how apps are allowed to override Windows settings like this.
I put Windows Focus Assist into Alarms Only mode so I could record screen captures and I Teams kept popping up notifications over my application. I had to completely exit Teams so I could finish my task.36 votes -
Taskbar Icon with Notification
On the far bottom right small icons, can we get a little red flag or something when there are unread messages. Like in Slack.

Block notifications on mobile when status is Do Not Disturb
When status is DND, notifications still come through on mobile (iOS version 1.077.2017072604). Very disturbing when on a phone call.

Archive Notifications
It is difficult to keep track of what Notifications have been read or responded to. I propose the addition of an archive or hide option to remove Notifications from the list.

Allow for Secure Notification Banners without Text
Please allow for Banner notifications to have a function where the banner only shows who the message is coming from and not display text. This is a more secure/private notification function that is easier to recognize than a the desktop icon that blinks.

Disable or mute notifications when not attending a meeting
Ability to disable or mute notifications for a meeting you are not actively attending.
Consider the scenario of being double booked or optional for a meeting and you don't join. There is no need for the Chat/IM popups and dings to occur, instead I should look at my activity feed and can then choose if I need to review or not.34 votes -

Chat Notifcations
Currently if you have a chat with multiple members you get a notification for every single message even if they are in rapid succession. Can you allow for notifications based on keywords or only if a message hasn't been sent after a certain time period?As it is you can only fully turn off notifications or fully turn them on and in chats with active discussion you get blasted with notifications.

Notifications when files are updated in a Team
Team or General channel notifications should be sent when files are updated in a Team. Unless I check every so often, I don't know when files are updated, as the person updating the files doesn't post a comment to the General channel (which I'm following) and updating a file doesn't auto-post a comment to the General channel to trigger watches on the channel.
The same is true for new files, but there is also an idea already open for new files: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/18719107-notifications-should-be-sent-when-files-are-added

Email Notifications
It would be great if the Team application would send an automatic email to members when any changes occurred to the site. Examples would be if a file was changed or added or if a conversation was posted.

Option Notify Team members when a new channel is created
We would like to notify the team when a new channel is created.
We manage small projects and problem tickets using a Microsoft Team. As the number of channels in our team increase it can be easy to miss when a new project or problem channel is created.
Team member should have the option to enable a notification when a Channel is created. This notification could be implemented as a pop up notification, email, and/or as a card with a button in the General Channel's conversation.

Add Status Color to MS Outlook
In outlook you should see the status of the person you're emailing. Right now that's only available if I have skype running. When I have teams on I dont see the red, yellow, green, (or no) status of the person I'm emailing.

mute conversation replies
Mute conversation reply notifications by default if not the original poster or @mentioned. This is default in Slack and would cut down on unnecessary alerts so you aren't notified of every reply to every conversation in a channel.

Mark all Channels as Read
It would be great if we can please have the ability to mark all Channels in a Team as read.
At present, if you go to a Team, and you have 30, 40 or more than 50 channels, you will see that all the channels are bolded. This indicates you have not read the content.
So at the Team level, and even the Channel level, it would be great if you can right-click, and select “Mark all as Read”
This would be especially helpful when you are added to a Team that has many Channels. When I am added to…

Teams to display ammount of Teams and Chat post in general not individual comments in channels.
When you get 20/30 notifications in on team it starts to clog up your activity bar.
Could this be updated so that you see how many teams have activity in them and when you click on the team you can see more detail about how many posts are in each channel.
An example would be that on the task bar I see 3 notifications, this would mean that I have 3 teams/chats I need to read. When I open teams one of those could then indicate once I've clicked on a team that there is multiple notifications in separate channels.
