Activity alerts are provided to you inside of Microsoft Teams in order to keep you more well-informed. When you are mentioned in conversations, you will receive a notification in the Activity tab.
- Instructor] Another way to stay informed in your class…is through activity alerts.…I've mentioned these a couple times during the course.…One of them was with at mentions.…When a specific at mention is directed at someone,…they will receive an alert inside of Microsoft Teams.…In between videos, I've sent a message from Madeline Charles…and made sure to include an at message towards me.…Now, inside of my Teams,…you can see that I do receive a notification…in a couple different places.…First of all,…next to the general channel on the left-hand side,…it's telling me one,…meaning that I have one message directed at me…inside of that channel.…
Here if I click on that channel,…I can see that message.…Now, the other place that it was is up here under activity,…it had a one next to it…so it was letting me know that I had a message here.…If I click on the activity icon…at the top left of the screen,…it will also bring me to any activity…including conversations I've started,…meetings that I was in,…and also any at mentions.…
