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.

This would be hugely valuable. For each new user we suggest they turn off email notifications (who still loves email in 2020??!), but then they baulk at having to set channel notifications on every Team/Channel.
Please put in place a global option!

Just wanting to bump this suggestion. Having the same issue as someone else on here. We're trying to increase adoption but teams isn't being actively checked as when updates are posted in teams users aren't being notified.
Getting users to enable notification for each team individually is a hard sell, we're resorting to @ huge numbers of people.

I'm glad I found this idea, I was looking for those settings in the Admin Center...
I hope they will implement this... Group policy or in Admin Center, doesnt matter. -

I ended up blocking the Teams email - its SPAM and should be turned off. It was activated without much thought I reckon. Come on MS give us the ability to manage these via Admin Centre or Powershell.

This doesn't make a lot of sense why this option is not available for the administrator. Microsoft plz.

Has this been implemented yet? I don't see an option. We are trying to move users from Slack, where they are notified of Channel updates by default. They are missing updates in the Team Channels because this is not the default. Having users remember to turn this on is a hard sell. Changing the default to be on, and letting them turn it off if the channel is to chatty is a much better option. We need the ability to choose what the defaults for our particular users are. Please let us do this with policies, a global setting, or even an option in a Team or Channel on the Admin side.

My users are also facing the same issue. not getting notified, the reason is by default teams notifications are disabled, I don't know why????. I feel it should be enabled by default and should admin to change it for all when needed. my colleagues have missed and are missing tons of important messages.

We definitely need more global control of Teams. I now have to go into each one and set the notification to on. Microsoft, do you expect all users to just have Teams open at all times? My users pay no attention to Teams because they never know when there is a group post.

Hi, this is indeed very important. My company just switch to Teams and newbies is not noticed about the posts. Missing information is a very critical thing here !

It's been almost a year since this idea was posted and it got only 28 votes including mine. This is a perfect example of why Teams notification must be turned on by default and the admins be given access to change it according to their company needs. I bet people don't use Teams as much as they could because they don't get notifications by default. I myself being a System Admin had to dig deeper to understand the reason why it is so. If people were to use Teams for a crucial project they'd have to turn on the notification for every single sub-channel and main channel that they're following. Everyone, please vote for this idea so we can empower Teams for our use.

The default is currently Off and newbies are not being notified. It is also the norm for us to want to set "Feed only" and allow users to change that.

Really good suggestion!
Implementing teams we are aiming at reducing the amount of e-mails received - having e-mail and banner as default demands introduction to the settings for end users, to know how to change notifications settings.
