Notifications are not coming
After the new update, there is a problem in the notifications. While chatting if the window is minimized the new message notification is not appearing.

The fix for notifications not appearing/playing when Teams is minimized is rolling out to the public ring. We expect it to be rolled out 100% by the weekend – I’ll update this item at that point.
Thanks!

Also if user has activity on desktop app, maybe only partial notification to phone app, this is an annoyance to get chat on desktop and then phone buzz constantly. Leads to disabling notifications on phone as a result overall bad user experience. I think hangouts handles this well, if I'm chating on desktop its knows not to buzz the phone although it still shows an icon.

Since migrating from Skype to Teams our notifications have NEVER worked. We've tried everything, installation - every googled item possible. Out of 20 people in our org. 3 people are able to hear sound or see notifications. It seems that this would be top priority. We've been on Teams for 2 months now and they are ready to switch to another platform. Please fix all notifications.

We are not getting Teams notifications for 3-4 hours after the chat message is sent. Been like this for a couple weeks now. We've advised people to stop using it.

A few of our users are experiencing this and only for 2 channels (out of 7) within a single team. The other teams work just fine. The activity that happens in these affected channels don't show up in the activity feed, either.

I intermittently do not receive email notifications for missed chats, when those missed chats occur in organizations I am a guest in. Nor do the alerts appear as a badge count visually on the Org name in the drop down list of orgs I am a part of. The only way I know some activity has occurred in another org is by actually switching to it. A huge pain..tons of missed activity as a result.

We migrated our internal communication from slack to teams and the lag/missing notifications is a huge hassle. Our team is generally mobile around our facility and whereas we had almost no issues with slack now it seems like our communication has been cut in half because users don’t trust the app. Issues with not getting notifications and issues where msgs are on a cell phone app but not on a desktop.

No message notifications at all. Have to go into app , into my groups to then see if there is a new message. Not the best way of contacting people at the moment, but we want to get away from wechat eventually, so sticking around. All of us use on phones. Android and Ios

We are having the same issue but it is working on my Android (Note 10) but selecting a tone is not working. On our desktops, if the app ix minimized we get no alert and have the same problem when the app is opened as far as selecting the notification alert.

I also have this issue, but on my Android mobile device. My phone will buzz when there are new messages, but I won't get a banner. So my phone just buzzes and it took me a while to realize that I was getting a Teams message. If I do get banners, it happens several hours later.

Getting notifications via the desktop app but not mobile. I checked my iOS settings and also changed the notification settings in the mobile app itself to “Always”. Had a colleague test by tagging one of the teams I own and no mobile notification comes through.
