Microsoft Teams integrates with Mi push directly to optimize the push notification experience in Xiaomi devices, but it needs some specific configuration setup in Xiaomi phone to turn on the Mi push. Use this article to learn how to set up the configuration in Xiaomi phones and about the known limitation you may experience.

Configure Mi push in Xiaomi Android phones

To configure the Mi push in Xiaomi Android phones, perform the following steps:

Note

The notification configuration panel under Setting might be different in different Xiaomi phone series and in different MIUI versions.

  1. Download the Teams application from Xiaomi Application Store.

  2. Install the Teams application.

  3. Sign in to Teams using your Office 365 account.

  4. Launch the Setting application.

  5. Select Notifications & Control Center > App Notification > Teams.

  6. Ensure all the options that enable display of notifications are checked.

  7. Scroll down to the bottom of this configuration page for Teams application, find and select Mi Push (小米推送).

    Note

    You may not be able to find the Operational message in the configuration panel. Hence, perform the steps specified in Activate Operational message.

  8. Enable all permissions associated with the operational message.

Activate operational message

To activate the operational message, perform the following steps:

  1. Sign in to Teams with your Office 365 account.
  2. Close Teams.
  3. Restart Teams.
  4. Send several chat messages from another Office 365 account to this account (the signed-in Teams account) OR, reboot your Xiaomi mobile device.

Limitations

There are several limitations in the solution that configures Mi push to Xiaomi Android phones:

  1. When Teams isn't in the foreground, Teams message notification includes just the generic information such as You have received a message.

  2. The Teams Incoming call will have the notification message Incoming call only, unless you explicitly tap the incoming call notification to answer or reject the VOIP calls.

  3. Behavior in Xiaomi devices/series with different Android or MIUI versions may be different due to the native Android or MIUI’s handling logic on notification.

  4. After installing the new Teams client, you need to send several messages before you can see the operational message in your OS’ notification configuration panel for Teams.

    Note

    Android 7 doesn’t support operational message.
