Manage Missed Activity Emails in Microsoft Teams
Managing missed activity emails in Microsoft Teams lets you control how often you get summaries of your conversations and updates when you’re away.
These emails help you catch up on anything important you might have missed while offline, so you don’t fall behind.
For example, Microsoft Teams lets you choose to get these email summaries every 10 minutes, every hour, or just once a day.
You can easily change how often these emails arrive and what they include, all within your Teams settings. This way, you get the information you need without being flooded with too many emails.
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.
