This article explains how to turn notifications on or off for likes and reactions in Microsoft Teams.
Microsoft Teams is a collaboration platform developed by Microsoft that integrates chat, video meetings, file storage, and application integration.
The free version is installed on Windows with its icon on the Taskbar.
There are many settings one can enable in the Microsoft Teams app. You can connect your Google calendar, turn the camera and mic on or off on the lock screen, turn read receipts on or off, auto start Teams, disable Teams chat, sync contacts with Teams, connect to Google Calendar, link your mobile device, turning message preview on or off, turn spell check on or off, turn on or off phone number in search results, manage notifications, turn on or off suggested replies in chat, enable or disable sound notifications, enable or disable notifications for incoming calls and meetings, enable or disable notifications during calls and meetings, enable or disable chat message notifications, turn @mentions notifications banners on or off, and more.
Users can also turn notifications for “Likes and reactions” on or off in the Microsoft Teams app to minimize disruptions. Turning them on can help you stay informed of when someone has reacted or liked one of your messages, which can be useful for gauging engagement and feedback.
However, having too many notifications can also be distracting and interrupt your workflow, so turning them off may help you stay focused.
