MS Teams notification at meeting start time, not just when someone starts the meeting

Question

I have team members that frequently join/start the MS teams meeting link early (about 15 minutes before actual meeting start time) and I receive a notification that someone has started the meeting. I typically ignore this notification when this early since I have other things to work on, but sometimes miss the meeting start time since the meeting notification came in so much earlier. Is there a way to configure notifications for "someone started meeting" AND "meeting start time"?

Hi @Brendan Maher

If you would like to, it is possible to turn off the "meeting started notification" in Teams.

While if you would like a notification about the meeting started, there has been a Teams uservoice thread on this: Suppress Meeting Notification Until Meeting Start Time

Hi @Brendan Maher ,

I know what you mean haha, sometimes it is quite annoying but I think you can have a look at the custom notifications over here on how to set it. Check this if it helps - manage-notifications-in-teams-1cc31834-5fe5-412b-8edb-43fecc78413d
