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.

Notifications in general need some love.
I can't limit notifications to "Sender Only" or "Hide all Content"
Also I can't turn off banners but keep the orange icon? Seems odd.

Just more Notification options in general I think is the idea here. I would like what is mentioned above, and also the ability to limit desktop notifications to just the sender, or just "you have a new message"
There is an HR argument to be made here.

The inaudible volume of sound notifications for the chat is the reason why users in my team have decide to move away from Teams - we are eagerly waiting for a resolution on this.

You should set a different sound based on the channel conversation

Notification in general is strange. The Teams icon should blink if you've missed something. But I've had too many instances where someone sent me a message and there's no number showing up on the minimized Teams icon.

I have the opposite problem. I hear a tone but I don't know where it came from; the task bar entry doesn't get a highlight color, like it does for me when I get a response in a channel.

Agree, sound will be very helpful.

Conversation notifications need to be more "in your face". It's very subtle at the moment. Sound would be a welcome addition.

Same problem here, but only in the Mac version, not the Windows version. When a new chat message arrives in the MacOS desktop version of MS Teams, no visual notification appears, and the bloop sound volume is so low that it is almost silent and very difficult to hear.

I would like to see the Notifications Settings allow for more customizing. I saw another thread where a person described Teams as "not being intrusive enough", and I like that. Even with my volume turned all way up, the existing single tone available is not loud enough or does not always go off when a new message is sent. Also, the banner does not always pop up. Notifications has been the biggest issue within our office.
Please expand upon this setting. -

Teams is *very* cool and very well done but this is such an obvious problem. Come on Microsoft.

I would just like to have a sound play for incoming calls and NOTHING ELSE. I endlessly miss calls due to the lack of a ring sound...

I'd also love to be able to customize iOS notification sounds. A unique sound for messages would be great.

Is there a fix for the notifications and sound yet? I cannot hear it and my company plans to switch to this from a working app.

This is a major problem. I can't click through every single channel constantly just to find out what's new! I've updated the notifications to be as intrusive as possible and I still have yet to see one single pop-up or email notification despite team members posting.

Skype is way better at making itself known... without the sounds in this app, my colleagues don't notice that they have activity they need to check in on

Please. I only get notifications for the general channel in any given team. Our office has created many Team channels, and even though I've subscribed to all, I don't get a notification or a visual cue that there is anything new.
