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 of Teams conversations and updates when you are away from the application, preventing you from overlooking important information. This feature ensures you stay informed even when you are 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 control the arrival frequency and content of Microsoft Teams activity summaries directly from your Teams settings. This ensures you receive necessary information without feeling 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.
