Hello KrisS_IUH,
My name is Segunfunmi, and I'm here to help you with your Microsoft Teams notifications. As an Independent Advisor and fellow Microsoft user, I completely understand your frustration with this issue.
Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
First, let's check your Teams Notification Settings. This can be done by opening the Windows Settings menu (use the Windows + I keys), selecting System from the left sidebar, and opening the Notifications menu. Please scroll down to Microsoft Teams and open it. Ensure the notification toggle and banner are enabled, and turn on the permission to show Teams notifications in the notification centre.
Next, let's disable Focus Assist. This feature is Microsoft's version of Do Not Disturb on Windows. When you enable Focus Assist, the system won’t disturb you with unnecessary daily alerts. You can either turn off Focus Assist or add Teams as an exception.
Have you checked your Team's status? You can set Away, Do not disturb, Busy, Be right back, Appear away, and Appear Offline status in Teams. When you set Busy or Do Not Disturb, Teams will turn off all notifications for your account. Make sure to revert your status to Available in the app.
If you're still having issues with notifications for a specific channel in Teams, you may have turned off and forgotten about that channel's alerts. Here's how to enable notifications for a particular channel in Teams.
I hope these suggestions are helpful, and please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Remember, we're in this together and work to find the best solution for you.
Kind regards,
Segunfunmi.
