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

Allowing people to customize the sounds would help with multiple people working in close proximity. For example my wife and I both have to work from home sometimes. Since the sound cannot be changed if we both have stepped away we have no idea who's teams is going off. I imagine that if/when people return to normal offices this could be an issue as well. Two people who sit near each other would have no clue who's Teams was going off. Customizing sounds should not be so hard.

The chat notification sound is too quiet and cannot be heard in a moderately noisy room as mentioned by other commenters. Please allow us to customize it to something more appropriate.

I miss the taskbar icon blinking to alert me to a chat message waiting, as Skype did. I work in a noisy office and cannot hear the chat notification at all. We just switched a few days ago and I'm constantly missing notifications because I'm not always looking at my screen when a chat message comes through, so I miss the banner & pop up.

For me, the sound is quite annoying but the banner is fine. Most of the time, the banner is enough for me to know I'm needed while the sound is distracting.

If Teams is the replacement for Skype for Business then this really must be added. If someone on my team sends me a message on Teams, I often don't notice it. If they send the message over Skype I hear it and see it right away because the sound notification is much better and I can change it to something that I can hear and will get my attention.

Anyone who actually hears a sound at all is lucky. Most days it's totally silent no matter what my settings show. I miss notifications and messages that are important. Please fix the sound feature!!

Please add the ability to select from multiple notification sounds. There are about 20 different "ring tone" sounds available you can select from for incoming calls, but no option to customize the chat notification sound.

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.
