How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Settings > Notifications: Notification sounds need to allow more options

“Notification sounds = Off” will disable all sound notifications, including disabling the Call notifications. What I’d like to do is to disable Mention and Chat notification sounds for example, but keep Call notification sounds. This can't be done at the moment as only 3 options are available:
All
Call, mention and chat
Off
We would need additional options to cover all use cases.
Thanks

    Sound notifications for when participants join and/or leave a meeting should be individual user settings. hearing bleep bleep bleep while trying to listen to the meeting is disturbing the meeting flow , and we can miss content.

    How about having disabling sound for just the chat notifications rather than another else. IT IS A HORRIBLE SOUND. Please fix it!!! Skype sound is so much better.

  • Roland commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Fully agree. This granularity in the configuration of sounds is what I miss.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes, pleas cover all use cases. Seems not doing so in the first place was an error and as a Software Test Engineer I would have entered an Anomaly for the product and the Requirements if needed.

    Agree with other comments, I would the option to use different sounds/tones as well as volume options. Same options as a cell phone - varied volumes, varied tones and customized for calls/messages as well as users.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please add more options.
    I can't focus when there is a discussion in a group and I'm beeped every few seconds, or when I have chat opened on one screen and work on another.

    I don't want to disable ALL notifications, because I don't want to miss calls.

    Lack of notification options is wild! For me, I want a louder & longer chat notification, as we don't use it a lot, yet, but I have missed sound & "banner" for a bit - like when viewing vid with audio on other monitor.

    Feel for and worry I'll be like others here if we go all in, relentless beeps, missing calls, etc. At least give options Skype has, as you try to replace it in the workplace.

    This a an horrible lack of oversight on Microsoft part. I cannot conceive how a modern app does not have such basic functions. Having chat beeping in an office environment is a nuisance, but missing calls because ALL sounds are off is also a big workflow issue.

    Its like people at MS has never used any other messaging app. Go try Discord, **** even FB Messenger has more options than an "enterprise focused" application...

  • Murray Varey commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Agreed! My heart sank when I saw the limited "Notification Sounds" choices. Please add a "Call Only" option. These relentless Chat beeps are hurting my head ...

    (Also, what falls under "All"? I'm not brave enough to find out.)

    Incredible, one of the most asked features (I also want sound for calls but not for messages!) and it is here for more than a year without being implemented... Looks like Microsoft does not pay attention to their enterprise Teams users requests ?!

  • Jeff commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This is nuisance of an issue, at least let us enable sound notifications for just calls

  • Annette Sutcliffe commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I agree with all previous comments we're in the 21st century and we're unable to turn off the sounds for notifications only. Notifications bleeping away in the background on my mobile as well as my laptop is driving me mad and most definitely isn't professional when on a call, surely by now you must be well on the way to an update?

  • Jan-Andre commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Since many comments below focus on the selection of the "type" of sound (which is another topic), I just would like to emphasize how welcome it would be to split the sound signal between calls and chats/mention!
    Pleease change this! Please!
    By the way, it's the year 2020 in the meantime, and there are hundreds of votes for this!
