Notifications in the "new" Teams are horrible. I keep missing activity posts, chats and phone calls because I'm not notified. I do NOT want another email report of new posts and things I missed throughout the day. I want a notification indicator on the taskbar icon, a notification indicator on the Activity/Chat/Calls icons in the left column, and I want the @ notification if I'm tagged in anything. I'm eager to use the "new" Teams but so far there are too many things are just plain terrible and useless.

    One change I made that has helped me was reviewing the time setting for "show notifications for...".

    Not sure what the default is, but mine was at 5 seconds. Rasing this to 30 seconds has helped me catch some of the new Teams notifications that may have just been disappearing before I saw them.

    This is for the classic (old) Teams. This option is not available in the New Teams.

    I think the timer applies to all notifications, including the new teams. Removed the other stuff as that was definitely just the old teams.

    Can you please provide screen shots or step by step how to get to this timer in the new teams then? I went to my settings > notifications and no timer existed. I looked around all the other settings and didn't see a timer either.

    Sorry, it's in Windows settings, not Teams. Updated my post with more details. Thanks for the question!
