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.

They also get obscured by Mac notifications, so until you integrate with the native ones, can you at least give control to move them to another corner of the screen so they they are actually useful and not obscured by the other important and correctly implemented notifications?

It's embarrassing that this feature is missing at this point. Teams is entirely unprofessional. When I'm in a group setting sharing my desktop and all people on the call can see the entirety of personal chat messages and notifications... SMH. All my other system notifications respect the do not disturb setting. Please make this work.

This is a sorely missed feature. I can't tell you the number of times I have missed a message because the Teams app notifications were hidden under my native notifications (I have a busy work environment).
Outlook already does it, please integrate Teams as well.

Many apps on your Mac use notifications to let you know about events, updates, or changes. Notifications appear briefly in the top-right corner of the screen or stay there until you dismiss them.

I feels Microsoft Teams does just enough to get executive buy-in, but then us schleps have to deal with issues like this. It adds stress to the work day to be monitoring this.

Will this next to DND also fix:
- the Sounds that are still played when the OS is told not to play app sounds.
- Dark theme in windows like file selector
- Focus on input field when returning to Teams.app with cmd + tab -

So Microsoft, still no update? Didn’t we wait long enough already? It’s not hard to pull the switch to enable this for ALL users

This is crazy. 'Upgraded' from Skype for Business, and now I'm missing meetings. I hear the call coming through on my headphones but there's literally nothing to click on to answer it. This needs fixing urgently.

This is more important now than ever with so many companies working from home and remotely. Being able to have a unified notification system and way for these messaged to be set to part of "Do not Disturb" is crucial to have effective meetings and to make sure important messages are responded to in a timely fashion and not missed. I understand there is a lot going on right now, but it's really not that complex and every other messaging platform has accomplished this.

There is no reason for this. The API is there for use in Electron

Middle of meetings and BAM Teams notification, BAM outlook notification! BAM Teams notification, BAM outlook notification! BAM Teams notification, BAM outlook notification!
Teams and outlook flat out ignore the DO NOT DISTURB feature on all Apple products, notification settings are ignored! What the **** Microsoft? Billions of dollars and notifications are an issue? SMH
Last part of my rant, why is it we MUST use only what Micorosft wants for notification sounds? You folks really cannot just let it be like other apps on the devices?

It would be very nice if Microsoft could share any information about when this is going to roll out. 4+ years of waiting is apparently still not long enough...
