Teams tips?

Following on from the "I hate Teams" chat, I thought it would be helpful (for me at least) to have a chat where people might like to share tips?

I am in 33 groups. I know but I need to be in them apparently. This is excluding the inevitable meeting chats that continue after the meeting.

My tips:
I've muted the unimportant ones and only check them twice a week.
I have the little indicator on to say whether there are any new messages and I check the new messages in the important groups 4 times day (when I get in, lunchtime, mid afternoon and before I leave).

However, sometimes I get a little alert pop up message that I need to deal with straight away. Does anyone have any tips for how I can easily tell which group it came from if I don't click it fast enough?

I don’t have tips for that. I have sorted my chats into favourite groups. Ones for different teams and people I need to find quickly. I use the DND function and have set up important people who are able to contact me beyond that.

I use Teams constantly at work and I HATE it!
