Integrate with MacOS notifications
Notifications built into the OS (which all apps I've seen use other than Outlook and now Teams) are more functional and allow for more user control. Most importantly, they honor Do Not Disturb settings, which is critical.

We are continuing to work on this feature. As with Windows notifications, we are also doing work to give users the choice between Teams notifications & Mac notifications.
We will update you as work progresses.

not having a proper notification system in ms teams is making me switch back to Slack... can't understand what's preventing you to deploy this feature after 3.5 years?

This is a ridiculous omission. I often share my screen to present and have notifications showing in the corner because Teams doesn’t respect the native notification settings.

Not to pile on but I have to agree. There are development teams 1/1000000 the size of Microsoft that are able to use native macOS notifications. Should not be a years long project.

This is not just a look-and-feel issue but a usability issue — of course I want to be able to manage notifications via the standard macOS system interface, but what's worse is when the Teams notification window appears *under* a system notification that has not yet been cleared, making the Teams notification unreadable, and by the time I clear the system notification, the Teams window has vanished again.
I'm glad to see the response that this is being worked on as of February 2020, but you said that in April 2019 that it was about to be rolled out by the end of that quarter, and we haven't seen any progress since then; so you can understand our frustration.

It is an utter embarrassment that Microsoft can't get something as simple as notifications working on a Mac when every other application has no issue with such a basic feature.

So... years have passed, can you just do it? It's really not that hard

REALLY MICROSOFT

It's beyond embarrassing that this is still an issue after literally years of this thread. I don't know how the Microsoft team can respect themselves while unable to solve even the simplest of issues that your user base is overwhelmingly demanding. Just wow!

Agreed. Touch Bar for Teams would be really helpful. I use it a lot in Zoom.

Lets each of us create a Support Ticket on O365 about this issue. Maybe this way they fix this annoying thing.

Posters below have said the same: please respect the system conventions. Custom notifications interfere with system ones and get hidden or fail to respect DND settings. Also they're ugly (sorry but true). I bet this is because it's just a web app in an Electron wrapper, which is why there are also no standard keyboard shortcuts.

Please - this is really bizzare that Teams doesn't use normal OSX notifications like every other app!
