How do I turn off email notifications when a Microsoft Teams Task has been assigned to me?

Hi there,

Our team is curious how to turn off Outlook email notifications when a task is assigned to us. We use a Shared Planner in the "Tasks by Planner and To Do" feature for a weekly priorities list, and when we assign tasks, everyone is flooded with emails from "Microsoft Planner at *** Email address is removed for privacy ***" saying "You've been assigned a task." It's very annoying, and it really clutters our inboxes. Is there some way to stop this so we don't have to go back and delete all of the "You've been assigned a task" emails every day? We check our priorities list all the time so there is no need for us to receive an email every time we get one.

Please advise. Thank you.

I clicked on the link and followed the directions, but I'm having trouble understanding exactly where to stop the emails from Tasks specifically -- all of these options are regarding people following me, answers, questions, etc. for Microsoft Learn, not Microsoft Teams.

Please advise.

That does not apply either -- that is for notifications pertaining to mentions and calls. I need to stop emails specifically.

Is there really no way to unsubscribe to the notification emails?

That still did not work -- however, I did figure out the solution. You must open the Microsoft Planner app, select settings, notifications, and then deselect Someone assigns a task to me (Email and mobile push).

Thank you for your help.
