Improve audio notifications
VOLUME: The sound is too low!! Most people don't think it's even on. Let us customize the sound level, please.
UNIQUE SOUNDS FOR CALLS VS CHATS/MESSAGES: Right now sounds are all or nothing. This is not good. For example, you may want to have sound for Calls but not for chat or messages. There is a difference when you need to hear that someone is calling you – versus getting the constant bing/bing/bing on message chat.
UNIQUE SOUND FOR PRIVATE CHAT: It would be nice to have different sounds for private chat and notifications, so that its easy to know what's coming in without having to look at it.

The team has updated the default sound for Teams notifications so it is more noticeable. We are in final testing, with a goal to release the new sound by the end of this quarter.

The banners that accumulate take over the screen. It would be nice to have an option where an alert is sounded but the banners don't keep popping up getting in the way of my work.

Well, I just want the sounds, no banners!
Banners hide part of the application I'm working on while Teams is minimized and they tend to accumulate upwards on the screen if several messages from a Team Channel get in from several people at once. I just need the sound to know something got in, so as to check it whenever I can, without interrupting or covering my work on another application.

I would prefer to be able to add my own sounds to this application, like you could with Skype for Business

I am very sensitive to sounds, the new one (even though it's louder) is literally painful to me. Why can't we have the option to customise like we did in Skype? I'd like to be able to use a sound that doesn't cause anxiety.

SOUNDS ON WITHOUT THE BANNER NOTIFCATIONS PLEASE! The banner notifications are distracting and often block items I need to see. It's very frustrating. Please fix this!

Want only sound and no banner notifications. Annoying and take over my screen. Especially since I can't limit the number of banner notifications so if people IM me like 4 things it takes up easily a quarter of my screen. I want sound. I want to know when people message me. I don't want 5 pop-ups blocking my work.

It would be great to have other notification sounds. The sound on Mac is harsh and not very subtle.

Please allow to change the audio file for Teams message notifications. It is so annoying currently!

Skype for Business allowed sound customization based on incoming IM, calls, replies, etc. all through the Sound Control Panel. I chose loud an obnoxious sounds, but I was notified. With MS Teams lack of sound configuration, for me this is an Accessibility issue, reducing my timely response.

Please make the chat notification more noticeable. Customizable sound and popup would be great!!! This has got to be one of the worst interfaces I have seen in years.

Please offer a choice to have sound notifications without banners. Frustrating to have every chat show up on my screen when I'm presenting on any other application; Zoom, Slack, (even) Skype, etc.

Would love to be able to assign different sounds to different Teams. Simply selecting yes/no notification isn't as helpful.

Please

For the love of all things logical, please allow us to disable the banners but still keep the notification sound. Kind of like an older app called "Skype" where you hear a sound and the icon on the taskbar just flashes. It allows for more privacy without balloons or banners taking up the screen for the world to see.

I agree, this annoying "bing" sound for notifications has got to be changable. Either I have no sound or the most annoying sound. For now, I just choose no sound b/c I just get MAD when I hear this stupid bing sound.
