Microsoft Teams notifications not showing up
Notifications turn off by accident in Teams settings or your computer's notification settings are blocking them. Check both places and turn notifications back on. This fixes most cases.
Teams needs permission to send notifications and those notifications need to be turned on in Teams settings. If either one is off, you won't be alerted when someone messages you. You'll still get messages, but they'll just sit there until you open the app and see them. Turning notifications back on in both places solves this.
- ✓Click the bell icon in Teams and see what notification settings show
- ✓Check your computer's notification settings. Windows and Mac can block apps from sending alerts
- ✓Look for a Quiet hours or Do Not Disturb setting that can be blocking notifications

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Turning off notifications in settings thinking it will help when it's already off. Double-check that it's actually on
- Changing only Teams settings and forgetting to check the computer's notification settings. Both need to allow notifications
- Not realizing quiet hours is running automatically at certain times. Check if it's scheduled
