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.

    it is absolutely ridiculous for this to continue to work the way it does when the idea was posted in 2016. Teams notification experience is horrible, so I turn it off and miss a lot of notifications but I also don't have the app constantly posting banners in the middle of my work.

    MS is going to lose to Zoom, Slack or other products that handle this very rudimentary capability of allowing users to manage this in a productive and non-interrupting manner.

    I was a big supporter of Teams but not anymore.

    Delayed again. What a shock.

    > Updated April 21, 2021: Based on learning's from our early rings, we have made the decision to make additional changes before we proceed with the rollout. We will deliver a new Message center post once we we are ready to proceed with the rollout. Thank you for your patience.

    This issue becomes very annoying when one's trying to concentrate while a team is chatting on a subject which doesn't need attention right now.

    The only way is to exit Teams for now.

    In around 6 months this issue will be five years old! It is time to organize a bouncy castle party!

    When I'm particularly annoyed by the lack of native notifications after all this time I sometimes come to this thread to read the comments of fellow users and laugh at the "changing the roadmap each month" phenomenon.

    Granted, the issue still remains, but at least the annoyance is temporarily lessened :)). We should implement a new-year style countdown as an overlay to the roadmap, ticking down to the next auto-change. You know, keep it festive and such.

    Paul the MacOS notification sound is changeable in Sys Preferences fwiw

    Also, looking forward to 8 days time when MS update their roadmap to say "May"

    Or the script causes it to update to the current month, which feels more likely.

    Please fix the native macOS notifications to allow it to still use the Teams sound for it. I want the native notifications for the badge icon, but I don't want to hear the awful macOS notification sound.

    I got enough of team notification covered by Mac native notification and came search for the uservoice. Followed the steps to enable native, chat notifications are now native, great and thanks for that.

    However, it still not solving the biggest annoyance - overlapped notification as the call notification is still non-native.

    Confirmed this is working on macOS Big Sur.
    1. Enable Developer Preview
    2. Click 7x times the dock icon to enable Development menu
    3. Go to Development menu > Hooks >
    4. Set enableMacNativeNotification set to true
    5. Go to Teams Settings and enable native mac notifications
    6. Test Message via development menu > Notification tests

    I think we might get to the five year anniversary of this before it actually happens.

    I see Microsoft have just... stopped talking about it now?

  • Swen commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    @Microsoft I'm using the developer preview with Mac native notifications enabled. Chat messages appear as they should, but if a team member starts a scheduled meeting, the notification still appears UNDER the other Mac notifications.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Do you think they spent developer time automating moving the date or is there a Jr. Dev who has to update the data manually?

  • Swen commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    @Microsoft: I apologize...

    The quick disappearing of MacNativeNotifications was my fault as this behavior can be configured per Software in MacOS Settings.

    The answer field is somewhat "hidden" in "Options" in the MacNativeNotification - that's OK, as one sooner or later will find out ;-)

    -->So, roll it out...!

  • Swen commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Hi Spencer, my admin was quick, so I was able to activate the public preview and the hook for MacNativeNotification in the devtools. https://superuser.com/questions/1580328/force-microsoft-teams-to-use-os-native-notifications <-- great tip without proxy!

    @Microsoft: The MacNativeNotifications appear nicely where they are supposed to BUT: there is no input field in the notification for quick answers AND the notification disappears quite quickly/does not stack when two or more come in quickly one after another.
    I hope you are working on this and it won't take until late 2025...

  • Swen commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Hi Alex,
    thank you for the step-by-step instructions! It works just fine with proxyman, plus I got rid of Charles' nag-pop-up.

    Hi Spencer,
    again, thanks for your additional idea from superuser.com!
    I will speak to my admin and hope that we can make this work, because frankly, I don't like the concept of SSL-Proxying just because @Microsoft hasn't been able to follow basic design rules for MacOS for more than four years now.

    Hi @alex!
    Thanks for the info on the typo. This fixed it for me. I'm not in the public preview but still could enable the feature. 👍

  • Alex commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Hi Swen, after installing the charles certificate you have to trust it in the macos keychain.
    As an alternative i can recommend proxyman since the setup process there is easier (One click install & trust certificate). Also proxyman runs indefinitely even with the free version.

    Instructions:
    1) Install and open Proxyman
    2) Select "certificate > install certificate on this mac" from the menu and follow the steps
    3) enable https response for teams.microsoft.com
    4) option-click on teams.microsoft.com > tools > scripting
    5) create new script for "https://teams.microsoft.com/package/desktopclient/settings/osx&quot; with the following onResponse function:

    function onResponse(context, url, request, response) {

    // Update Body
    var body = response.body;
    body["settings"]["enableNativeNotification"] = true;
    body["settings"]["enableMacNativeNotification"] = true;
    response.body = body;

    // Done
    return response;
    }
