"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."

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.

    I get confused whose teams message it is, when both me and my husband are working from home and I am away from my laptop a bit. It would have been very convenient to have a different sound to identify which one our's ping it is.

    you're derailing the conversation.

    this thread is about how dumb Microsoft is by removing the option for Mac users to choose a different or custom "ding" tone when receiving messages.

    remember, it's us (all of us) against Microsoft's stupid decisions that cause us problem

    So I agree that this should be a feature, but just want to mention a side note regarding your assertion that 99% of corproate devs use MacOS. This is just demonstrably untrue. There are lots of sources for an OS breakdown, but the annual StackOverflow developer survey is probably the most comprehensive of professional developers.

    Here's the breakdown of developers' primary professional use OSes from last year's survey:
    Windows: 48.82%
    Linux: 39.89%
    MacOS: 32.97%
    BSD: 1.03%

    I recognize you said "corporate use" instead of professional use—but to be as generous as possible to MacOS and to use one of the lesser-biased data sets possible, I chose to use these measuring "professional use", because surveys of corporations tend to favor Windows significantly more.

    Personally, I'm grateful to be able to do much of my dev work in Linux (coding .NET, no less!), though I don't mind using any of the 3 choices. Just had to point out the bad data.
