You can view your Activity feed by selecting Activity, which shows you what’s been happening in your channels. The Filter tool allows you to display a specific message type, such as unread messages, @mentions, replies, or likes.

Select My activity under the Feed menu to see a more specific feed. Your recent activities will be displayed in Teams.

There are notifications in your feed when a red circle appears next to Activity . These notifications include @mentions and replies. Your feed will display these notifications for 30 days. Your feed will no longer display them after that.

Notes: Teams also has a command box at the top, which you can use to check your notifications.

  • The unread channel notifications can be viewed by typing /unread.
  • To see all your @mentions, type /mentions.
