Email notifications about missed Teams activity

Original source: Email from Joey Hannah

This wiki page is a guide on how to turn off (or modify how often you receive) the "Your teammates are trying to reach you in Microsoft Teams" email notifications.


If you're a Teams user, you'll periodically receive missed activity emails in Outlook to let you know what you've missed when you've been away from Teams. 

If you prefer to have these notifications on as a safeguard from missing something, you don't need to take any action.
If you prefer to turn these notifications off, here are the steps to change the email notification setting for Teams:

  • Towards the top-right, next to your picture or initials, click the 3-dots.
  • Click the gear icon for "Settings".


  • On the left panel, click "Notifications and activity".
  • On the right panel, find the line that says "Missed activity emails" and click the drop-down menu.
  • You can turn these off entirely or change the setting to a different timeframe if you prefer to keep the emails.
