Hi, Microsoft 365 Insiders! We’re excited to share that you can now opt in and out of receiving notifications for a post in a channel.

 

Turn notifications on or off for a post in a channel in Microsoft Teams

 

Notifications for posts in a channel within Microsoft Teams serve several purposes:

 

  • Real-time updates: Be alerted when someone posts a message and receive timely updates.
  • Visibility: Stay informed about ongoing discussions and activities within the channel, and quickly identify relevant content without manually checking the channel. 
  • Collaboration: Keep everyone engaged and apprised on what’s going on.

 

How it works

Select the three-dot menu in the top right of a post , and then select Turn off notifications or Turn on notifications based on your preference.
