Hi there,

I need to know is there a way I can get my computer to physically flash when I get a teams notification? I have ADHD and this accommodation would really help me to not miss calls in the workplace.

Please let me know ASAP,

Rachel

    @Microsoft please bring back the flashing notifications on the Taskbar. I even turned on the pop-up notifications to try and offset this, however they disappear quickly so if I'm busy or in a meeting I am missing multiple notifications and getting to messages late.

    Hello Rachel,

    There is a way to get your computer to flash when you get a Teams notification. You can customize your notification settings in Teams to include visual notifications.

    Here's how:

    1. Open Microsoft Teams on your computer.
    2. Click on your profile picture and select "Settings" in the menu.
    3. In the "Settings" panel, click "Notifications".
    4. At the top of the Notifications are three options, all of which can be turned off. The first option is "Show message preview". The second option is "Banner and email". The third option is "Feed only". Select "Banner and email".
    5. Scroll down to the "Visual notifications" section and turn on "Flash taskbar icon for notifications".

    This will make your computer flash when you receive a Teams notification.
