PTSD Reduction: Microsoft Teams on Mobile

I get a lot of notification on Microsoft Teams on my Android mobile device. A LOT. To reduce my PTSD, I've made the following changes today

  1. Launch Teams & press your cute photo in the upper left corner. Press Settings
  2. Notifications
  3. General activity

  4. I'm going to change the sound for Channels, Chats, Mentions and turn off the sound for Reactions. Press those links
  5. I'm liking the "Chaos" sound, as that's shorter than the default sound.
  6. I made the Reactions sound silent, as I don't care how many "Likes" I get. Ok, maybe I do care. You like me, you really like me!
Look, kpk is already 20% happier! You can too!
