Make "Follow this channel" the default setting.
Usual Microsoft lack of UI intuition.
Channels should be followed by default with the user unfollowing it if they wish.

Thank you for the feedback. Changing the default setting is under review by the feature team, and your feedback is very useful as they are evaluating.

Agreed! Owners of a Team should have the option to set Team Notifications on by default for team members. In addition, it should also be an option to allow only Team owners to post to a group. This way we can use the group to send quick notifications without spamming everyone's email!

We need the ability to be able to set notifications of NEW posts to a channel via email as sometimes important posts can be missed if you are away from Teams. Also it is easier to track emails than posts. The setting currently available under user profile for Notifications (Banner and Email) does not seem to work even if "missed activity emails" have been set to "as soon as possible".Kindly add this feature.

Agree 100% they should be on by default or settable by the Team owner. We just rolled out teams and tried to foster some collaboration, and it's falling flat because users aren't participating.

+1 for this, and/or Don's idea of being able to manage it through a group policy

This is an absolute must, and I can't believe it has been under review for 2.5 years so far!

チャネルの通知の既定値が変更できない。変更する場合チャネルごとにすべて変更するのはとても生産性がないので改善してほしい。

Totally agree. It should be ON by default.

We're moving from Slack to Teams and this is a must-have feature -- on Slack by defualt if you're in the channel you get notifications, which makes announcements and broadcasts visible to everyone. Asking our whole staff to go turn on notifications is unreasonable; at least make auto-on or forced-on notifications a powershell or admin-configurable knob!

yes PLEASE make it the ability of the creator of a channel to have notifications turned on automatically for all, and then they can choose to turn them off.

Totally agree! What is also frustrating is that not many people know about this so I'm constantly reaching out and explaining how to turn notifications on (to their bewildered look).

I agree COMPLETELY. This same request has been requested in other UserVoice threads. Is there any reason not to allow administrators to make sure users get notified? (1) Notifications should be ON by default. (2) Administrators should be able to turn on notifications for all users for each channel.

Please add this! With COVID-19 work from home for the entire organization we need to utilize teams more and more for communication and projects etc. No one receives notifications and will be bothered to update it for every channel they want. Some channels admins need to force all users to see updates.

This is absolutely imperative - especially during the work-from-home situation that COVID-19 has forced us all into!

I agree COMPLETELY. This same request has been requested in other UserVoice threads and is an absolute must if Teams is going to be used for daily communication.
Please make enabling this an urgent priority:
1. Notifications should be ON by default.
2. Administrators should be able to turn on notifications for all users for each channel. -

This is an absolute must - please get this done more quickly. We are trying to use teams as a daily method of communication, but that doesn't work if every user has to turn on notifications on every channel. Enable administrator control of this ASAP please.
