Change location of pop-up notification when chatting in a document
The pop up notifications block the space where you are supposed to type when you are chatting on a document causing a major disturbance.

Its very annoying and affects productivity directly. It should be priority number one.

Not thrilled that we cannot move the popup. I use carved up big screen monitor and would prefer to have the popup show in the space for teams.

Absolutely agree. Extremely frustrating and disconcerting!

Pop-ups show up in the same location as Remote (RDP) sessions and you can't tell which is which. Need the ability to move the primary desktop pop-ups so that they are not confused with Remote sessions.

Many different applications put save buttons in the lower corner of screens as well, so a popup can cover those as well. Should be able to set this to a another spot on the screen where it will not be distracting or hiding information.

Agreed. Optionally setting the popup to appear in a different corner of the screen would save a lot of frustration!

There is a major flaw in the HMI of the teams windows. The area of the window where you type is at the bottom of the window. The area where notifications are at the bottom of the window. There is not an option to move either of them.
In other words the two primary parts of the teams interface "fight" over the same space on the monitor. There needs to be an option to move one or both of them. -

Please provide option to move the notification location in Microsoft Teams (like it's available in SFB) as we cannot type or respond in time to chat, because the notifications keep getting in the way in the lower right corner.

I'm often using remote desktop so the notification window is hidden. If I minimize Remote Desktop the notification from Teams also disappears. When I receive a Teams call I have to look on my phone (where Im also logged in on Teams) so I can see who's calling me, then I look for the contact in my Teams contacts, then open a chat with them, then choose "Join". It's really annoying lol.

Just let user control where the pop up windows notification goes.
Move it to the windows notifications area, let us have a sleep function when the conversation window is open.
Put a toggle in the chat windows to switch this off.
Anything but covering the conversation.

I don't understand why any notifications are displayed for a chat that is *already open*. If the focus is on a meeting window and the chat pane is open we are already seeing the messages there. All the notification does in that case is to cover up the actual message as well as sometimes the previous ones, and interfere with your ability to respond to them. Notifications need to be about the things you are *not* looking at rather than the ones you are actively working on,

It never fails. Every time I seek a solution to an annoying Microsoft problem, this one included, there are dozens of people suffering, yet MS does NOTHING. Meantime, they've got their engineers constantly doing unwanted updates that create more issues. I really wish they'd address their consumer complaints FIRST, and the engineers' pet projects later.

This also applies to calls / meetings. Had an issue today where a webinar was being delivered via Teams and the host would encourage interaction via the chat, but one user would have difficulty contributing as the popups covered the chat pane.

So many simple annoyances with Teams that need to be addressed, this is one such annoyance. The fact that this was posted almost 3 years ago is a disgrace.

This is particularly bad usability. My son is home schooling (as most kids are) and is unable to take part in the chat due to this. Very frustrating and bad design. Please make it movable

Please allow it to be moved to any other spot or at least a different monitor.

I am a high school student and I normally wouldn't complain, but my school has been using teams for online learning during the pandemic and the chat pop up notification while I am on a meeting is really annoying. It covers up the place where I am trying to type and then I end up clicking on the notification and going onto another screen, causing teams to time me out on the other tab and kick me out of the meeting. I would really appreciate it if you would allow users to be able to disable the notification or at least move it out of the way. You are a company worth $1 trillion, it shouldn't be to much to listen to your customers and solve this simple problem.

I would actually just like to see that the pop-up location is adjustable. The upper right of my screen is a valuable place where I can, for instance, launch new browser tabs, etc. It is annoying that I have to keep closing the chat notification popups.

How has this ever been addressed despite being constantly re-asked? There is absolutely no reason for the pop-ups to *only* show in the bottom right of the screen - the ability to change the default or drag-and-drop should be available as needed. So ridiculous to ignore requests for it...

This seems so obvious to me. It's a particular problem when dealing with urgent work, as many people are messaging at the same time, blocking your ability to pass important information.
