Apologies, not sure what you mean by notifications. Do you mean email notifications of unread Teams messages? I get a few of those and just ignore them. When I look at the Teams apps, it's very clear what I need to respond to.

Notifications on my laptop or phone about DMs or @‘s. There are certain people or channels that I want to get notifications from. Since I can’t trust the notifications I end up having to leave Teams open and check it constantly. This is distracting to me.

Most messages don’t have an expectation of a timely response. But of those that do, I need to be able to rely on notifications.
