Customize Sound Notification
The sound you updated to during the week of March 6 is HORRIBLE. Please give us an option to change sounds for chat notifications the same way we can change sounds for the phone calls

For me the value of Teams is reduced by 50% due to the lack of possibility of sound customization. The sounds are not notorious enough for me, so I don't react to them. I miss all notifications.

This is really needed with multiple computers in my house running teams for different companies. We don't know who's computer is binging. I can change the call sound but not the chat "bing" sound (a bing sound that I find really irritating as well).

The notification sound is truly awful. In my opinion it either needs further refinement or there needs to be a few options for the user to choose from.

Teams doesn't send me a notification sound if I am currently in the chat. I only get sounds for other chats that are not active. I need all chats and reactions to play a sound no matter what. I also would like to add that we need sound choices, even if it is only system sounds, to make using Teams a better experience.

this is a must now that many companies use it. We you work with other people in the same room you don't know which one of you is the one getting a notification

With working remotely expected to continue into 2021, the ability to change the notification sounds in Teams is a must. Given the robustness of the Microsoft platform, why is this so challenging?

While the ability to change notification sounds currently exists within Teams, it is buried deep within the app and each function's sound is required to be changed individually. As an end-user I want the ability to quickly customize Teams with familiar sounds. Lastly, on the enterprise version of Teams, it is not possible to import sounds and users are forced to choose from the default list delivered with a phone. Android phone.

10 months from the post. I wonder if IT people can estimate, how long it might take to develop such option.

Any movement per chance? Worth highlighting this issue was first suggested June 2019! <insert eye roll emoji>

Why is it not a feature already ? If there is more than one person using the teams in a room this becomes very annoying very quickly. Why cant you figure these things out already when developing? are you like a 12 year old writing the software?

Sound customization is needed to pay attention to important calls and ignore some daily chat notifications. I hope it will be changed soon.

The faint chime sound to notify when a message is received is not loud enough (even with laptop sound all the way up)... especially when working from home it would be VERY helpful to be able to change this sound... slightly disappointed Microsoft didn't provide this simple functionality.

This! for the love of all that is holy! Please change the sound or give us the option to change the sound! The current sound shoots up my anxiety, especially when multiple chats are giving sounds! Its impossible to know which ones are important at that moment or which ones are not. This makes it impossible to know when you are working if that DING DING DING DING DING, is important or just some people chatting about unimportant things.

I agree with everyone here! Can we please have a way to customize all of the notifications within our individual app? Come on Microsoft! Get with the times!

The default notification is obnoxious and annoying.
I want a sound, but I would like other choices for the notifications that would be more subtle such as the knock knock in Slack.
