Microsoft Teams is a workplace chat and video meeting app from Microsoft, widely adopted by offices, schools and remote teams for daily calls and collaboration. Its incoming call sound became familiar as remote work grew, because it plays whenever a colleague starts a direct call or invites someone to a meeting. Online creators later reused the short chime outside work, turning a routine office notification into a recognisable joke about being always on call, unexpected meetings and the pressure to answer instantly.
About this sound
The familiar Microsoft Teams incoming call ringtone, with its bright repeating chime that signals a video meeting is starting and someone is waiting to join.
This is the bright, looping chime that plays when someone calls you on Microsoft Teams, instantly recognisable to anyone who works remotely. It starts with a clean, upbeat electronic tone that repeats in a steady rhythm, creating a sense of urgency without sounding harsh or alarming. The sound feels modern and office-like, like a digital doorbell for a video meeting, and it cuts through background noise just enough to grab attention. Hearing it usually triggers a quick rush to unmute, check the camera, and join before the call is missed.
