Manage Missed Activity Emails in Microsoft Teams
You manage missed activity emails in Microsoft Teams by adjusting notification settings within the application.
Missed activity emails send you a summary when you’ve been away from Teams, ensuring you don’t overlook important conversations or updates. This feature helps you stay informed even when you’re offline.
For example, Teams allows you to receive email digests every 10 minutes, every hour, or once a day, depending on your preferences and activity levels.
You can control how often these summaries arrive and what they contain, directly from your Teams settings, so you get the information you need without being overwhelmed.
Open Microsoft Teams, click the three dots next to your profile picture, and select Settings. Navigate to the Notifications tab and adjust the “Missed activity emails” setting to on or off. You can also customize the frequency and types of emails received.
Why use missed activity emails?
Missed activity emails in Microsoft Teams help you catch up on conversations you might have missed, especially when you’re away from your computer, letting you respond directly from your inbox.
What happens when done?
Once you finish these steps, you will either start receiving email updates for your missed messages or stop getting them, depending on your choice. This helps you control how much your inbox is interrupted by Teams alerts.
