Teams Android - Any way to change the notification sound?

I'd like to be able to distinguish between my Teams notifications and all my game, calendar, etc notifications but I'm not seeing anywhere within Teams where I can change that sound it uses.  Is there any way to do that within Teams or somewhere else within Android itself anywhere?

Thanks.

  • Hi there
    Firstly, I own a OnePlus so there might or might not be feature/step differences.

    Open Teams App -> Settings -> Notifications -> General activity -> Chats -> Chats (again) -> Advanced options -> Sound -> Choose your pick!

    I hope this helps since I am a year and a month late to this post.

    For me it's currently in Notifications> Custom. There you can adjust notifications sounds for anything that generates a notification.

    I have found a way to change the sound for all of Teams. It's still somewhat granular, but I think it's what you're looking for. (Android 11+ and should work on other versions)

    Profile icon/photo > Settings > Notifications > Configure Notifications

    All Notifications is just a toggle, but the others have sound options.

      I am trying to set a sound in MS Teams mobile (I have a redmi 6 pro) I followed the steps provided but after the first Chats option i reach a dead end. Under Chats I only have Show Notification / Floating... / Vibration / On the lock screen... but i do not have Advanced Options to then pick sound and browse the sounds in my phone.... any ideas?

  • Hi Mike. On my Android (v9) I do this by going to Settings > Apps & Notifications > Teams > Notifications, and then by clicking on the relevant Teams feature. Hope it works for you, too. //Magnus

      CoachOffice365  That page lets me turn notification on or off for various things, but I don't see anywhere I can tell Teams to use a specific sound different than every other app that gives me notifications.

        Kelemvor333 Ok, I see. What if you click on the specific feature you want to change the sound for (in that list where you feel you are stuck)? I am able to do that, e.g. for Chats, and I then get to set the notification sound. Does this work for you?
