Notifications to all staff
Hi,
Is it possible to set up a group or similar where a notification can go to all employees regardless of their teams status?
What I want to have is some way that we can alert all staff when a fire alarm is to be tested as emails are often not picked up in real time (if for example people are in a meeting) and I would like them to have a pop up notification so no-one mistakes the call for a real alarm (we previously used a tannoy but have replaced all desk phones with Teams now).
I've already tried creating a Teams Group but the conversation function there is not notifying the members.
Thanks!
What about having an Org-wide Team for this and use the announcements post type?

- Ok will try that - will that notify people even if there status is busy etc,?
RRMX01 Hi, let me just add this to the topic as well.
An urgent message will notify a person or group repeatedly, every 2 minutes for 20 minutes, or until they read it. Mark a message as important or urgent in Teams - Office Support (microsoft.com)
