Modify Remind settings
Remind offers extensive settings that can be customized to your liking. Navigate to the "Settings" area in the Reminders tab of the 1:1 chat with the app:
Some of the most commonly modified settings include:
- Start of day: If you don't set a time when your reminder should occur, the app uses this time as default. This is also the default time when setting a reminder on a message or when snoozing a reminder.
- Confirm message reminders: When you set a reminder on a message, the bot sends you a confirmation. You can turn it off here.
- Force date format DD/MM/YYYY: Many users have set their Teams client to use English (United States), even though they don't live in the US. The app then assumes a US date format (MM/DD/YYYY) when you type a reminder, which can be annoying if you are not used to it. You can change the date format here.
- Send welcome message to group chat or channel: When you add Remind to a chat or channel, the app sends a welcome message that your coworkers will be able to see and might get notified about. If you add the app to a lot of chats or channels, you might want to disable the message here.
