Microsoft Teams launched in 2017 as Microsoft's workplace chat and video meeting platform, replacing Skype for Business for many companies. Its incoming call ringtone became widely recognised during the shift to remote and hybrid work from 2020 onward, when daily meetings moved home. Clips using the sound spread on social media as a shorthand for work stress and unexpected meetings, similar to how a Discord call signals friends coming online. It remains popular in office memes because almost every remote worker knows it instantly.

The Microsoft Teams incoming call ringtone, the familiar melodic chime heard when someone calls you on Teams, often used in office and work from home videos.
This is the Microsoft Teams incoming call ringtone, a bright looping electronic melody built from soft synth tones and gentle chimes. It rises and repeats in a calm, polite pattern designed to get attention without sounding harsh, instantly signalling a meeting or call is waiting. Hearing it outside work triggers an immediate reaction for many office workers, a mix of alertness and dread, which is why it works so well in memes about remote work, missed calls, and being pulled into another meeting.
