one that you’ve also replied to
You can further customize your settings if required; refer to the Quick Reference Guide Microsoft Teams Notification Settings All Users – Mobile Device on the website.
Custom sound notifications cannot be added to Teams.
Set channel notifications
For clinical secure messaging, it is recommended you set your notifications at the channel level as shown below. Channel chats should never be used for Personal Health Information.
By default, channel notifications are off. You can adjust them at any time based on current relevance and priority.
You’ll always get notifications to your replies whether a channel is on or off.
For instance, you may be a member of twenty Teams, but you only want notifications on your mobile device for channels within two of the Teams.
As an example, maybe you’re working on a project, or there is a channel that is used for posting urgent information that needs to be acted on. In these instances, you probably want to ensure you get the notifications on your phone.
