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.

For any (small/large) organization, Domain Admin have control what the default setting are in Teams.
These settings must be override by user settings for notification.
Why? Because notification settings are not designed to make a standart notification for a Government agencies. -

This is a must in a large organisation. We've set up channels to resolve communication problems, but no-one is communicated by default to the channels.
Admins need ability to manage default communication settings on a per channel basis, or at least each Team.

Voted up. We've added a couple of users who don't use email often and are missing important emails in all of the notifications!

For Organization wide Teams - The feature should be there for admins or there is no use of it as notification is off for them and we have facility to announce. If Microsoft says its feature there should be a way of properly using it, manually switching notification is not a good advise. Teams admin should be able to control this.

Not everyone in our organization checks teams daily or even weekly which means they miss important notices. Super annoying that they need to manually switch on notifications for each channel.

Other settings are possible, but not this one - why? It is important to give the enterprise administrator a strong admin toolsset. Group policies are the means of choice.

Hi, please can this feature be added, shocked that this cannot be applied by a global/group policy. This would really adoption to Teams.

I Hate MS so much, they add/remove features constantly that make managing users harder. And then when you message support they take you here and half the time, like this one, they're 1-2 years old with hundreds of votes and no response from MS.
I get notifications are probably a personal preference in MS' view, but from a company standpoint we should be able to control who gets what notifications.

I do not understand why MS would not have the foresight to create GPO settings, or more granular Teams Admin center settings for things like notifications, auto-start, etc. for Teams rollout. Adoption has been slower than we'd like because we are not able to configure basic default settings during the rollout. Instead we have resorted to sending out numerous emails to our users explaining how they need to configure their Teams client. VERY FRUSTRATING!!

this is such a basic feature that it is unbelievable that it still doesn't exist... what would it take for MS to listen?

I'm not surprised this isn't a feature. This is something that would be expected of an enterprise product and we are talking about MS Teams. MS Teams has about 8 years before it gets to enterprise level going by how old some of the feature requests are

Notifications on channels are defaulted to "custom" - which is basically no notifications. Members of these channels are missing updates posted in them as we can't arrange for all of them to individually go in and change their settings on every channel. It would be good if default was to provide notifications, and then users can decide which ones they want to switch off.

We need this - it's slowing down adoption because people are frustrated that team members are missing their messages so are just reverting back to email. It's damaging our efforts and it's so basic!

The amount of "Spam" these email notifications produce is nest level - yes each user can set their own but don't and I am not going through 1100 users to do it for them. Need the ability to turn off those Teams Notification emails.

Not only Domain admin, but channel owner as well
