Use built in notifications for macOS
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 getting closer… the team is almost ready to rollout MacOS notification support internally for testing – we hope to have it to the public by the end of this quarter.
Thanks!

Is this specific to Teams? Or can we expect this in Outlook as well?

Found out the hard way that notifications do not respect the Do Not Disturb setting. Glad it wasn't anything embarrassing.
And we are 3 months shy of a year for the internal rollout. Any updates?

So we have read receipts now, but not native macOS notifications… something that would be far more useful than knowing if a colleague has seen a message… like obeying do not disturb and being able to see message notifications when I'm working in full screen…

We're over 2 weeks into 2020, and still no update from Microsoft. Do we really need to wait until 2021?

Like half the purpose of teams is getting notifications, the standard ones are a real drag. PLEASE, PLEASE fix this asap!

About time for a public release now, right? 6 months internal testing should be enough?

Really want and need this. What is the status? The message saying "we hope to have it to the public by the end of this quarter" Was from 3 quarters ago. So that is 9 months later now!

Native notifications would be nice! Non-native doesn't take OSX features into account (do not disturb, dark mode, swipe-able).

I can't believe Microsoft didn't make it in 2019. Disappointment after disappointment. Where does it stop?

Microsoft developers deserve no Christmas this year because they didn't make it in time to release this cr*p. Make it happen, now!

What do we want? Native notifications! When do we want them? NOW!
Come on, Microsoft, make it work!

Today I missed a very important notification due to the Teams notification not showing up while I was in full-screen mode. I cannot believe Microsoft ever implemented such an amateurish approach. They clearly do not use Macs themselves while they are developing. "It compiles, ship it".
