How to Enable or Disable Notification Sounds in Microsoft Teams
You can enable or disable notification sounds in Microsoft Teams to control audio alerts for new messages and activities.
Notification sounds in Microsoft Teams are audio cues that play when you receive a new chat message, mention, or other important activity. Controlling these sounds helps you manage distractions or ensure you don’t miss critical updates.
This setting is crucial for personalizing your Teams experience, especially if you’re using a specific version like Microsoft Teams for Work or School, which might have slightly different interface elements.
When you disable notification sounds, your computer will no longer play any audio for new Teams alerts. If you enable them, you’ll hear a distinct ping or chime for each incoming notification, helping you stay informed without constantly looking at your screen.
Open Microsoft Teams, click the three dots next to your profile picture, select Settings, then go to Notifications and activity. Uncheck or check the box for “Play sounds with notifications” to disable or enable them.
