"Since Teams was introduced to us for use, the notification sound, that continuous "ding," can be changed to something more delicate or something that sounds a bit more pleasant? I have to live with the only sound notification Teams has, because Microsoft lacks imagination and forgot that not everyone who uses Teams may like the same sound, that annoying "ding" which after a few hours becomes like a hammer hitting your head."

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
The latest version of NEW TEAMS, lets you change the notification sound. There's not a lot to choose from, but at least we're not stuck with the default now.
Guess what machines 99% of the developers are using in a corporate environment? They using MacOS. Any idea how to do it on apple machines?
99% MacOS???? Not even close! "In the United States, surveys indicate that macOS currently has a 23% market share in enterprise environments."
Can someone from MS tech support please answer the question as to why MS has chosen not to make the notification sound customizable? There is clearly a demand for it and this is not a major feature change.
If this functionality is going to be added in a future release, can you let us know when this might happen so we can look forward to this day and plan a huge party to celebrate?
Lol, I wish companies were a bit more smarter before purchasing the whole MS bs package. I can see how that conversation would go between the MS sellers and a CTO:
MS seller: "Well Mr. CTO we have very attractive price on the cloud management solutions and with the same package we can provide you half price the 365, with the outlook and Teams included"
CTO thinking: "Damn, that is a good deal. I will save a lot of money to my corporation, the CEO will kiss me for the rest of the year and screw all the IT department with all the devs in it, who by the way they hold 90% of the business up and running, put everyone on Teams with that dingy notification sound which becomes a psychological pain after 8-12 hours work"
Its not a feature of teams, but the ability to alter the notification sound is in Windows itself - under sound settings, look for the Windows event, and you can customize the sound you get. The files to choose from are in C:\Windows\Media
Im much happier with my new sound
