Here\u2019s how to turn off or customize Microsoft Teams notification.<\/p>\n<p>Teams will provide notifications about chats, meetings, direct messages, mentions, other people\u2019s status, and even when someone you know joins your team. It will do this by adding a number to the Teams icon on the taskbar, making that same icon flash, playing a noise, and popping up a banner notification in the bottom-left corner of your screen. And if you miss any of that, it will send you a missed activity email.<\/p>\n<p>If you work somewhere that uses Microsoft Teams a lot, this can become a barrage of alerts that constantly interrupt you with information that you don\u2019t need to know. Getting pulled out of your focused zone by an alert telling you that Geoff from Accounts has just come online is really not helpful or productive. You should decide what\u2019s worthy of breaking your concentration, not your software.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Turn Off or Customize New Email Alerts in Outlook<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, you can change all of these settings and make Teams alerts as loud or as quiet as you like, and it\u2019s easy to do. You can also change notifications for specific conversations and chats, or change notifications for specific periods of time.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Manage_General_Notifications\"><\/span>How to Manage General Notifications<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Open Microsoft Teams on your computer, click your profile picture, then select \u201cSettings\u201d in the menu.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-701975 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/x1-Menu.png.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.YzgUWeKrlD.png\" alt=\"The &quot;Settings&quot; menu option.\" width=\"364\" height=\"500\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In the \u201cSettings\u201d panel, click \u201cNotifications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-701976 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/x2-Notifications.png.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.X4sQgG5sMZ.png\" alt=\"The &quot;Notifications&quot; option in the Setting menu.\" width=\"402\" height=\"308\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This is where you can customize all of your notification settings.
