Send a message to all users (like a broadcast)
- You could do it with this given all users install the app

Hope that answers your question!

Jos_Verlinde Why would you use this method instead of just sending to the distribution group in email? I need to send a notification to all staff and would like to send like a chat teams only allows for 100 members at a time. Yammer would work but I don't want them to be able to comment back... just a notification? You would think that Azure would allow you to send a notification to all users? Are you aware of anything like this?
MicrosoftTodayDee72 as for the why you can ask the OP. A Teams is one form of communication but certainly not the only one. same for e-mail , Yammer , or PA systems. each have their own primary use cases. (most, including e-mail, allow for replies though as communication tends to be two-way in most cases. if you do not desire that its quite normal to make it clear that replies will be ignored )
Sending a Notification implies that there is a way (and a value and a habit) for the recipients to read that. You can use an app on azure ( or any cloud) send something, but unless that notification arrives on an app or device that I use regularly, it will be pointless. The premise was that all users are using Teams on PC and/or mobile. that allows you to reach all with a single app tool, without needing to install a seperate single-use app on each device.
