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 getting closer, and are still working thru some bugs, but hope to release this as part of a Public Preview pack in early 2021! (Windows 10 released with the December 2020 pack this week)
You can learn more about the new Microsoft Teams Public Preview program here: https://aka.ms/TeamsPublicPreview, and Teams administrators can find documentation to manage which users will see the Public Preview option here: https://aka.ms/TeamsPublicPreviewAdmin

This should move to the 'MAC' node. I assume that teams going integrate these to OSX and they are probably (hopefully) watching that node.

We have already come to grips with the fact that this app will never been fully native, but please at least use native push notifications. :) Do your best to be a good macOS citizen.

This would be a huge improvement to Teams. During work i frequently use the Do not Disturb setting for Notifications on Mac. E.g. to not get disturbed by notifications during presentations or screensharing.
Teams doesn't integrate with the MacOS notification system, therefore one has to remember to turn off teams notifications explicitly. That extra step wouldn't be necessary if the OS notification system was used. -

And the current notifications don't adhere to the Do Not Disturb setting of the notification centre, which is very annoying !

The lack of native macOS notifications could be the main reason we choose Slack over Teams.

Not only that, "Teams notifications" appear behind the native notifications, it's such an awful "solution"

The problem I have with the current notifications is that I can't dismiss one without opening Teams. I.E. A notification comes up and I click the "X" to close it but instead it opens teams up.
Obviously this is a issue because every message requires me to stop what I'm doing just to make the notification disappear.

How is this not a launch feature? Notifications have been part of macOS before it was renamed macOS. Leave it to Microsoft to go and do something drastically different and less functional on the Mac. Please fix this ASAP.

It just helps not to miss any updates/conversations

This is a must.

I don't really understand why this functionality wasn't present out of the gate. Seems like a no-brainer to me. It's not like you're doing something cool with the custom notification that you couldn't have done with the system notification.

+5 to this one, PLUS these notifications don't disappear when I move into the app, and they last WAY too long. Native native native for all these things, otherwise it's not intuitive and I'd rather use free slack or gchat.

This is currently a source of great frustration. Notifications go unseen due to being hidden under other ones.

When I've enabled a Mac's do not disturb function so notifications don't appear during a screen sharing session with customers, Teams still sends notifications to the desktop. Please work with the OS' do not disturb setting to suppress notifications when enabled.

This issue is also affecting our Mac users. For a comparison, Outlook 2016, although not integrated with Apple notifications, doesn't display new messages received when the Mac is in do not disturb mode.

My team would love this. We currently have to completely shut Teams off when presenting to avoid any embarrassing popups that override Mac's DND mode. Teams is the only app that seems to do this.

Just yesterday on my Mac I was embarrassed in a meeting because a notification from Teams popped up on my screen during a presentation, even though I had macOS's "Do Not Disturb" turned on. This needs to be fixed!
