Separate Notification Sounds Settings for Calls and Chats
“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.

Now that we are using Teams for external (PSTN) calling, everyone in the company wants this.

Agreed - I don't need sounds for every message I get through the day, but I do need a sound for calls.

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.

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

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.

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...

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.)

Looking for something similar. Would like to disable notifications for incoming calls on Teams clients. This was be useful for folks with hardphone and would like only notification on hard phone and ios app.

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 ?!
