How to Manage @Mentions Notifications in Microsoft Teams

Managing @mention notifications in Microsoft Teams lets you control when you see alerts for when someone specifically calls out your name in a chat or channel.

Microsoft Teams is a popular program for chatting, video calls, and sharing files at work or with groups. This feature helps you get noticed.

You can choose to turn these @mention notification banners on or off. This stops your screen from being flooded with pop-up alerts if you find them distracting.

Turning them on ensures you don’t miss important messages that tag you directly. You can adjust this setting within the Teams app’s notification options.
