TEAMS - Follow Channel option on a Channel is now Channel Notifications
Gary Murphy Hi - I have just created a channel in Teams, but it doesn't seem to display the red alert icon (like you get on the Chat tab) when a new message or notification is sent in the channel.
I have looked at all settings and they are all set up as much as they can be, but still no red alert icon seems to appear when new messages is sent to a channel. It means I miss messages and have to regularly go into a channel to check there for message updates.
Is there anyway to fix this?
- No red alert icon's go onto/next to channels unless you are @mentioned. New messages will only appear in your activity feed which should have a toast count when you have unread new activity. The channels you have shown will bold when you have unreads, but no red pill unless mentioned.
- Would like to attach a couple of links to the Teams support pages for notifications but as far as I can tell (using mobile on the run) they are not updated yet.
Finally! Thank you for that Microsoft!

HarryHunt Hey, how does your Channel notification settings look like? (I've customized them).
1. Try sign out and back in manually from the top right corner.
2. You can always clear the Teams cache as well. Type %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams and hit enter (via Start) and delete all content in the folder.
