We are gradually doing more and more of our work via Teams, and with that comes more notifications. If you’re finding the notifications overwhelming, read on for how to adjust your notifications to best suit your needs.

If you like getting this kind of information via video, try this resource

If you’re a words and pictures persons, read on:

Click on the 3 dots in the right hand corner and select Settings:

Select Notifications, and then make the changes you would like for email notification, appearance and sound, channel notifications and chat.

You’ll notice I’ve turned all email notifications off, but you can tailor to your preferences.

When you adjust the Teams and Channels notifications, you might wonder what the difference is between banner and feed notifications.

• A banner notification will pop up in the right hand corner of your desktop, whether you’re in the Teams app or not.
• A feed notification will only be visible in the Activity section when you go into Teams (top left hand corner).

Hope this is helpful for stemming the notification tide.
