Hi!
About an hour ago, all of my chat messages in the New Teams stopped showing up in the Activity Feed, and now only show in the banner. I even received several chat messages in Activity this morning prior to that. I looked in the notification settings and found that the "Show in Activity and banner" option for the chat message notifications has been removed (please see attached screenshot). Was this removed in error, or are there plans to bring this feature back?
Thank you!!

Hi!
No, unfortunately it looks like the option for having chats show up in the Activity feed has simply been removed. I've been looking all over and have yet to find any way to bring it back. I think it's just no longer an option.
Select System from the left sidebar, and then open the Notifications menu. Scroll down to Microsoft Teams and ensure that both the notification toggle and banner options are enabled.
J.A and myself don't want Banner Notifications. We ONLY want Activity Feed Notifications for a chat message.
Hi,
Did you resolve of find a solution for this? I also used the activity feed for viewing unread chat messages, it was a very handy feature. It boggles me it is already gone again.
For the past 2 days I've been facing the same issue, it is Teams issue not with Windows Android or ios, I've tried logging out and clearing data and cache in all 3.. The muted groups no longer showing mentions in activity feed.
Hi J. A,
I am an independent advisor, trying to help other users in the Community with my experience in Microsoft products. Please note that I am a user like you and don't work directly for Microsoft.
There are a few options that may resolve the issue.
Check Notification Settings: Open the Windows Settings menu by pressing Windows + I keys. Select System from the left sidebar, and then open the Notifications menu. Scroll down to Microsoft Teams and ensure that both the notification toggle and banner options are enabled. Also, make sure that Teams notifications are allowed in the notification center.
Disable Focus Assist: Focus Assist is similar to “Do Not Disturb” on Windows. It might be affecting your notifications. Navigate to Settings > System > Focus assist on your PC. Uncheck the option that says “Show a notification in action center when Focus assist is turned on automatically.” Adjust other automatic rules as needed and restart your computer.
Check Your Teams Status: In Teams, you can set your status to Away, Do not disturb, Busy, Be right back, Appear away, or Appear Offline. When you set Busy or Do Not Disturb, Teams turns off all notifications for your account. Make sure your status is set to Available in the app.
I would appreciate your feedback.
