How can I make sure I am receiving any and all new posts, replies, notifications from different channels in different teams?

Question

I am a member on many teams on this platform. I want to be able to get all activity notifications that happen on each team inside each of their channels. I seem to get random notification when there are updates/new posts on the different channels, meaning that I am not getting all the new activity that is posted. I get all notifications for some team but not others. I get notifications on one channel from a team but not the other channels associated with that same team. Is there a setting that I need to search for to allow for ALL notifications from ALL teams and ALL their channels?

If you have applied the above settings and are still missing notifications, it may be due to the volume of teams and channels associated with your account. In such cases, Microsoft Teams may not reliably deliver all activity alerts.

We recommend submitting a support request ticket so that a Microsoft support agent can investigate your tenant and environment in more detail to help resolve the issue.

Please let us know if you need assistance submitting a ticket or reviewing your current configuration.
