As above - I have an Apple Watch and an iPhone - I want to keep getting notifications to my iPhone but not to my watch.

From what I can see, there is no obvious way to turn them off. Am I missing something

    Teams itself does not have a separate “Apple Watch only” notification toggle. Notifications are controlled per mobile device (iPhone/Android), and then the Apple Watch mirrors or manages those notifications at the watchOS level.

    To keep Teams notifications on iPhone but stop them on Apple Watch, configure this from the Apple Watch side:

    1. On the iPhone, open the Watch app.
    2. Go to Notifications.
    3. Scroll down to Microsoft Teams.
    4. Turn off notifications for Microsoft Teams (or change from “Mirror my iPhone” to a custom setting that disables alerts on the watch).

    Teams mobile notification settings (in the Teams app itself) will continue to control what appears on the iPhone. For example, to customize Teams notifications on iOS:

    1. Open Teams on the iPhone.
    2. Tap the profile picture (top left).
    3. Tap Notifications.
    4. Adjust notification types, quiet time, and “active on desktop” options as needed; these apply to the phone, and the watch will no longer show them once disabled in the Watch app.
