Rosemarie Withee - Microsoft Teams For Dummies

The Notifications area is where you set your preferences for how Teams should notify you about things. You can set various events to show up in your banner (a pop-up window that appears in the lower-right corner of your computer) and through email, only in your Activity feed, or turn them off completely. I cover notifications in detail in Chapter 8.

You configure the devices you are using with Teams in this settings section. A device includes things like your speaker, microphone, smartphone, headset, or camera. I cover devices in detail in Chapter 10.

You can turn on or off permissions for Teams in this section. For example, do you want Teams to be able to use your location or be able to open external links in your web browser? You configure those permissions here.

Teams provides a full voice solution. What does this mean? It means that Teams can replace your regular telephone. In this section, you can configure how incoming calls are answered as well as setting up and configuring your voicemail and ringtones. You can also set accessibility options such as using a teletypewriter (TTY) device for people who are deaf or hearing impaired. I cover calling in detail in Chapters 11and 12.

You can also access your Teams settings by clicking the Activity icon in the left navigation pane and clicking the gear icon. Did I mention that Microsoft is notorious for creating many different ways to achieve the same result? I guess the idea is that someone will stumble upon what they are trying to do just like stumbling around trying to find Easter eggs. Just remember that if you are in an argument with a coworker about how to do something in Teams, you might both be right!
