Allow 365 Admin to Define Default Notification settings in Teams.
It would be nice to let the Domain Admin have control what the default setting are in teams.
Users can changed them but let the admins change and override with one time Reset. Like a GPO Preference.
Why?
Let’s say the users are not ready for emails and Banners and users are freaking out about the number of Alerts from Teams to Outlook. The Admin could reset the setting for all users to Banner only. This would let users change it to email and banner, but the admin could find a setting that works best for the company of users.

No updates about this thread? We have teams with more than 50 members, more than 15 channels. It's difficult to make 50 members to enable notifications for 15 channels. Applications like WhatsApp and Telegram set notifications on as default and the user can manually disable it whenever it's necessary. Since Microsoft Teams in companies is controlled by admins, we should be able to control it too.

We need this too. It's crazy that this isn't a feature.

It's really poor design to have a new team get created and you don't see any notifications because the default is to mute the channel...

Allowing us to change the default settings or to have the default be to notify and people intentionally shut it off would be ideal. I am getting complaints that things are posted and someone doesn't know they are there because they didn't go into each channel and change notifications.
In addition to allowing us to manage our default notification, it would be helpful to allow this at the team level and not just at a channel level. that way you don't have to go into each channel to adjust the notifications.

Super important issue as if we want to use Teams for alert messages than this needs to be in place

Please add feature for admins to override the notifications settings for certain channels in Teams. There are Org Wide Notifications that need to be visible and not allow users to disable/change channel notification settings.

Need an option to disable and set notifications organization wide, from tenant level. We have chat history disabled, well on 1 day then delete. Getting emails of the same messages we don't want a history of, defeats this purpose.

We need to have the Notification settings control at Teams Tenant level. Good to have this in upcoming releases

Our Teams activity has nearly stopped due to absence of answers, as nobody is aware of new posts

I am astonished this feature is still not available in 365 or in group policy. My organization is still experiencing adoption issues with teams because as others have pointed out, new users are unaware of how to configure notifications and thus they are missing important chat messages from other people and not seeing them for up to a week! I'm disappointed there doesn't seem to be any way to automate this natively.

The ability to change the default notifications to on for all newly created Teams/Channels would is a change well overdue. I'm not asking to lock the options. The user can then chose to turn them off if required but in our organisation I've found most people want most notifications and having to remember to activate them whenever they are added to a team is not the best.

I fully agree with Mike. We want to speed up the rollout of Teams in our company. It would really help if we could activate feed and banner for certain channels by default.

I would like them all turned off. My notifications are going via a MS managed mail server and sent unencrypted over the Internet. Completely unacceptable- bad security

When will this be implemented? Absolute must Microsoft why isn't this already done we have been requesting it for a year now!
