Microsoft To Do: Problems with the Bell Sound
oliviabrownthe completion sound can be enabled and disabled in the Settings. To access Settings (in the mobile and desktop versions), from the main (top-level) screen, select your name in the upper left corner and select Settings. Once in the Settings screen, you can enable or disable "Play completion sound". Hope this helps.
Talisphere Hello, is there an option to set an alert / alarm? For example I want one hour prior the meeting I set in ToDo, to hear an alarm, like the a.clock alarm in the morning :-).
Thanks in advance
Anton
Mr-Mahony, yes there is. Every item in the list is just a Microsoft Task, so you go into the list item detail and click on "Add due date" (to set a date) and then "Remind me" (to set an alert/alarm)
- Thank you SO MUCH!
>>> To clarify, "SETTINGS" in the To Do app itself is where these adjustments can be made. NOT from the main Windows 11 Settings options. - Meh - on or off - How about letting me PICK the sound? That tiny little bell is barely audible over the blaring Deutche Schlager I listen to constantly.
Talisphere I have tried this. The problem is that even with this Settings option it does not sound. Everything else in the computer sounds (Chrome, iMovie, Quicktime videos), all except ToDo...
- Sorry, not sure what the issue is. If "Play completion sound" is enabled in the To Do app, then it isn't a problem with the app. I know that it works good on my Fiancée's iPhone 12 Pro. Maybe there is a way to enable notifications or sounds by application in the iOS general settings?
Talisphere My name isn't in the upper left, so I'm having trouble finding the settings location you mentioned. My photo and initials are in the upper right. Are you accessing settings from the app or the web? I'm accessing from the web.
rtakayamaI am using the mobile application on Android and the PC desktop version. I wasn't aware that there even was a Web version. I see in the Web version, your name does not appear in the upper left corner. In the Web application, you click the Gears icon (above Sort), and disable "Play Completion Sound"
Talisphere Thank you, that did it! Appreciate you sharing.
- Thanks! I wasn't even aware of the settings as the app design gave me the impression that my name only was a confirmation of me being logged into the Microsoft ecosystem without it actually being a clickable button.
