How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

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.

    I'm missing Teams chat notifications because it's sound volume is too low AND is directly linked to system volume. not good. PLEASE FIX

    Turned off banners--too distracting when it pops up on the screen I am using. They also take too long to disappear off the screen.

    But now I have no sounds to at least alert me to a message to go to. I have my sound setting on for Chats, Mentions etc...but I see from searching around that suppressing the banners overrides the sound setting.

    Sound please. No banners.

    Oh no Alex! That is not good - we want to customize it not just have your team of engineers set the volume level. Let us choose a custom notification sound (from a list of sounds and import your own), please...

    +1 for sounds - yes, banners - no.
    The banners either show on top or minimize full screen applications, even when focus assist is on with Alarms only. This is incredibly frustrating, I want to be on teams all the time but I don't want banners. Why can't we just have sound, IM apps had this since... forever.

    I want the sounds, but don't want the banner. The banner is absolutely annoying (for me at least), it gets in the way especially when I am trying to reply to another chat message in Teams.

    This case was originally created for the sound being too low. Now you've updated it, and it's much too loud. Why not just make it configurable (or customizable)? It's driving me nuts.

    I want the sounds, but don't want the banner... Can you please make it so they're independant functions?

    as someone with problems hearing, the blob sound need to go.. or at least let us choose the tone... you young millennial working at MS trying to make everything cool and hip need to stop, lets go back to the way things were when every option is listed out and stop with this we need a new UI because it looks cool.

    We have some hard of hearing individuals in our office who can't see either and would like a much louder sound and custom sounds. I would also like to be able to specify sounds based on person or group.

    My wife is using teams as well now and it is annoying we can't understand which client got the message!

    Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo anxious for this update. Hope it is coming soon!

    This would be much appreciated. I do not know when I am receiving notifications. It makes it almost unusable unless I have the teams app front and center.

  • Ben Conrad commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    We don't want more sounds. Teams is incredibly annoying when it's constant beeping. I want to turn that off but also be able to be notified when an incoming call is happening.

    We want to have these options for notifications:

    Notification Sounds:
    * All
    * Calls only
    * Mentions & Chat
    * Off
    *
