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.

Are you able to select non-default phone ring tones?
I desperately need to use louder tones in a factory.It just has the galaxy listed ones (galaxy phone) and not the new ones I added

Taylor_Cline On my Samsung S9 I had to copy the custom sounds into Internal Storage > Notifications Folder via a USB-C cable connection with my computer. You may be able to send via e-mail and save the sound file in that location too. FYI Samsung prefers ogg format.

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?
- mce_cCopper ContributorSo helpful 😁
- Austin_PowellCopper ContributorI 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. - jojo001Copper ContributorCan we do change the message notification sound on Mac? or Windows?

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