How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

← Public

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.

    Also - notifications from Teams do not work if you have another app in full-screen mode. they only work when not in full screen. Skype works because it uses the standard mac notifications....

    Yeah, as well as the fact they don't obey Do Not Disturb, ironically they're also incredibly easily missed. And they don't appear in the Notfication Center.

    We very much need this, as we miss out on notifications a lot now!

    Native notifications will also work when working in full-screen-mode on Mac.

    This feature would be especially useful since the current Teams notifications do not appear when using another app in full screen, native Notifications always appear and can be snoozed.

    Instead of using a custom notification, please use native MacOS Notification manager. This will allow users to manage notifications consistently with most other MacOS apps.

  • Rogério Munhoz commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Besides that, you can't use features we're all used to like swiping right on the touchpad to dismiss the notification. Plus, the design has nothing to do with MacOS

    Strongly agree... Notifications from Teams are garish, distracting and completely ignore the settings on my Mac (including Do Not Disturb).

  • Dominic Andreacchio commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Teams notifications are embarrassing during presentations. Why can't it simply follow the macOS DND logic? DND is there to prevent notifications whilst not having to shut down every essential app. If it's all too much trouble, could you not allow us to at least manage notifications via system preference with badge number options only?

    Your notifications need to be ported to notification manager. Proprietary MS notifications appear behind all other notifications on OSX, super annoying.

  • Mark Duffield commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please use the OSX-native Notifications mechanism build into the OS for MS Teams notifications. In this way, you will allow Teams users to manage Notifications in the same way as they do all other OSX apps.

    Notifications in Teams is intrusive and annoying. Use MacOS notifications and bounce the dock icon.

    "Working on it" That is fantastic. Look forward to the update!!!

  • Pete commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Teams notifications are useless 80% of the time as they're usually hidden beneath an existing OSX Notification / Reminder in that top corner.
