Microsoft Teams Notification Sounds - Can't turn off???
I work at a rather large organization and we just switched to using Microsoft Teams. So far it has been great but what is driving me nuts is the Notification for new messages. I can't find it anywher...
EricaMG this too was driving me nuts, I went into notifications and changed 'chat messages' from 'banner' to off.
This resolved my issue, I don't need to see every time there is a chat message, but if I'm mentioned or called it still alerts me.
I would prefer to keep the banner notification and simply eliminate the sound.
If (like me) you want to be able to hear your calls coming through but cannot be doing with the millions of 'Pings' for notifications throughout the day (and you have not figured this out already) make sure your "Play sound for incoming calls and notifications" is on and "Notification style" is switched to windows, you can then turn off the notification sounds for windows in the windows settings, the calls still come through teams and you can hear them but any chat notifications, mentions etc. come through the windows notifications and make no sounds, kind of a round about way, would be easier if Teams had separate sound settings for calls and notifications but this will have to do for now.
Hopefully this will help someone else.

- Thanks!! So to clarify, after switching in the Action Center - Notifications, find the "Teams settings" I turned off "Play a sound when a notification arrives" and it still rings for phone calls! That's great. I was also able to turn off Banners there.
- Of course, IM's are now also muted... So you have to train yourself to look for the notification dot. Banners are not a solution because I don't look at my screen a lot of the time, I just come back to it every half hour or so. This is why you can't let developers design the UI behavior, because they never take their eyes off their screens... Microsoft will apparently never learn this.
- For unknown reasons, the Action Center - Notifications panel on my desktop does not show Microsoft Teams in the pick list? Is there another way to modify these settings?
- They need to fix this. It's absurd that even in silent mode on an iPhone, the notification sounds for Teams STILL come through.
