No option to turn off notifications for a single post

Teams documentation[1] has instructions for turning off notifications for a specific conversation.

I have been using this feature for years without issue.

As of several weeks ago, I no longer have this option when I open the dropdown menu for a post.

Has the feature been removed, or moved somewhere else?

    We thought the "Turn off notifications" wasn't working for posts as well. However, it does appear to be there for Teams channel posts. We were actually looking at a group chat and trying to turn off notifications for what we initially thought was a channel post. We ended up using the option to leave the group chat to resolve the notification spamming from a bunch of posts to that group chat. We're using Microsoft Teams Version 1.6.00.24078 (64-bit) desktop client (updated Sep 15, 2023).

    This is actually happening with all NEW Teams clients, old clients still have this option, it looks like Microsoft dropped this while upgrading intentionally or not.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble turning off notifications for a single post in Microsoft Teams. The option to turn off notifications for a specific post is still available in Teams. Here's how you can do it:

    1. Hover over the post you want to turn off notifications for.
    2. Click on the three dots that appear on the right-hand side of the post.
    3. Select "Turn off notifications" from the dropdown menu.

    If you're still not seeing this option, it's possible that there may be an issue with your Teams app. I would recommend trying to log out and log back in, or even reinstalling the app to see if that resolves the issue. If you continue to have trouble, please let me know and I can help you troubleshoot further.

    RonBaker thanks for your reply, but please let's get serious. If you read previous comments you would see that the step-by-step you wrote doesn't exist anymore. That's the whole point. Johny L42 attached an image that shows how that looked earlier, just as you described in 3 steps.

    Now, there is no such option either I use the Desktop App or Web App.

    I mentioned that everyone else in the company had the same issue with the new version of Teams. So, it won't be fixed by logging out and logging back in. Anyway, I tried logging out and reinstalling the app which didn't solve the problem,

    I have the same issue that Joel and Jonny have described. And not just the three of us, but everyone else in the company is facing the same issue. I don't know what the reason was for removing this functionality, but please bring it back.

    I could copy-paste Joel's comment and add one more thing. Due to the vast number of unnecessary notifications, I often end up missing the important ones.
