I would like to be able to have JUST Banners or JUST notifications in the activity feed. Not both. I end up getting notifications in both and am just seeing double notifications. It's a bit frustrating when I'm trying to work quickly.

I'd like to see Teams operate more like Google Groups Forums, where every member of the Team (including guests) receive an email each time something new is added to the conversation. People are not always logged into the app at all times..

Our business just implemented TEAMS chat instead of Skype for Business and already my colleagues are missing important, time sensitive, IMs because they had no idea they had received them. Notification is too quick, and there is no flashing on the tool bar.
Secondly, I'm seeing an issue where colleagues have either minimized or closed TEAMS and it shows them as either away or offline, but Skype still shows them as available.
Skype was just so much more intuitive and easier to use. Really hoping that you fix these issues soon.

The desktop app should blink (similar to Skype), have the ability to hide the message preview, and if a single person sends multiple messages, all of those messages in a single time period should come across as a single notification banner (rather than multiple banners).

Would love to be able to choose to only receive activity notifications for shifts, versus for everything, on the mobile iOS app.

Yes please. Give us options for notification settings like skype. I miss half my messaging notifications.

At a minimum, have a setting to turn off the preview of chat messages showing up. Overall, need more customization around chat notifications.

Definitely THIS. I do work editing audio - and it's really, really disruptive to have a conversation start in one of my group chats. However, there are others which are high - priority, and I'd like to have them make different sounds - My Teams window is generally shoved off in the farthest corner of my secondary monitor.

I agree with what some others have said, that it should blink in the taskbar when there are notifications like Skype

I agree about needing to control notifications other than just "off" or "on." Would really hate to have remarks from my colleagues show up while I'm presenting, but also really hate to miss chat notifications. This functionality was handled MUCH better in Skype for Business.

The main problem with Teams is if the app is not open and you receive a message, it appears down the bottom right of one of your screens for only a moment, and then it disappears and the Teams icon in the notification area doesn't change. It the icon were to flash or the app itself were to open when a message is received this would save one from later opening Teams and then realising half the company has been trying to contact you.

Coming up to 17 months "working on it". In that time you could have ripped out the entire options system and replaced it with a proper hierarchical set of options, including this as just one of them.

We don't get any notification whatsoever for messages in chat. No sound, not even a faint one. No banner. I've tried to remedy the lack of sound but no luck. From the other comments, even if I managed to hear a sound, I might miss it. So far no one in our company uses Teams and this is part of the reason why. We urgently need this. I don't want to have to get Slack in addition to Office 365.

When working on multiple monitors and Teams is minimized, the flashing notification on the Taskbar is too subtle on Monitor 1 if I'm looking at Monitor 2. Need it to persist longer and be more obvious, especially for Chat notifications. Basically need it like Skype did it.
Agree with comments below too about all chat messages popping up. Limit it to the first one, and hide any additional ones. Don't need clients seeing an entire conversation when I'm sharing my screen.

Agree with a lot of comments on this one already... the Teams notifications are so annoying that I have to turn them off, but then I miss things. I receive a lot of messages every day. When the notifications are on, I have half of my screen filled with messages that stay there for 5 seconds each. I've had to ask people to start typing paragraphs instead of sending separate comments because I can't stand that it displays every single message I receive. Please make notifications less intrusive. Skype was perfect. I used to have just a blinking notification and that was great - it tells me I have something to view, but lets me do so when I please. What release will improvements be included in?

This functionality would be great.

Prefer Skype format. Allow for option to display pop up with message only for the first message from that person. Also, allow for the content of the message to be hidden like on Skype- you see the notification from the 1st IM, but just the person's name and not the details. This is super important when sharing screens with clients, etc.

Any update, there is a lot of other duplicated posts on this topic, there is about 100+ posts of other ideas all about notifications, be great to merge them all, seems to be a big factor in other teams not liking or using Teams any more

We just need to have it where the first chat message notification displays, and not every single response.
