How to Enable or Disable Sound Notifications for Incoming Calls and Meetings in Microsoft Teams

This article explains how to turn on or off sound notifications for incoming calls and meetings in the Microsoft Teams app on Windows 11.

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, and more.

In the Microsoft Teams app, users can also turn incoming calls, requests to join, and meeting start notifications on or off.

These notifications help you stay up to date with meetings, but they can also be distracting, which you can turn off if you want to stay focused.

Turn on or off incoming calls, requests to join, and meeting notifications in Teams

As mentioned, users can turn on or off unnecessary notifications in the Microsoft Teams app.

Here’s how to do it.

First, launch the app by clicking the Start menu and selecting it on the All Apps list.

You can also launch the app from the Taskbar or Taskbar overflow.

When you first launch the Teams app, the mini window will open. Click the expansion button on the menu bar to open the full Teams window.

In the full Teams window, click the Settings and more ( …) button next to your profile picture and select Settings from the menu.

Next, select the Notifications and activity tab on the left of the Settings page. Then, under “General” on the right, check the box next to “Play sound with incoming calls, requests to join, and meeting start notifications” to enable sounds with incoming calls, requests to join, and meeting start notifications.

To disable sound, uncheck the box.

That should do it!
