You can now turn notifications on or off for post in a channel in Microsoft Teams

Hi, Microsoft 365 Insiders! We’re excited to share that you can now opt in and out of receiving notifications for a post in a channel.

Turn notifications on or off for a post in a channel in Microsoft Teams​

Notifications for posts in a channel within Microsoft Teams serve several purposes:

• Real-time updates: Be alerted when someone posts a message and receive timely updates.
• Visibility: Stay informed about ongoing discussions and activities within the channel, and quickly identify relevant content without manually checking the channel.
• Collaboration: Keep everyone engaged and apprised on what’s going on.

How it works​

Select the three-dot menu in the top right of a post , and then select Turn off notifications or Turn on notifications based on your preference.

Availability​

To use these new features, you must be a member of the Teams Public Preview or Microsoft 365 Targeted release and use the new Teams client for Windows or macOS. Other meeting participants aren’t required to be members of the Teams Public Preview.

To enable your Teams client for the Public Preview, IT administrators must enable Show preview features in their update policy. Learn more
