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.

I keep missing notifications from teams on Mac OS because of this. This renders the application nearly useless if people have to remind me that they send some messages over teams.

Seems like everyone is having this same issue, how long can you be "continuing to work on this feature." just wow!

Missed a crucial notification from someone asking about a software release. Happy days.

Yeah there's no reason to keep the current teams notification as an option. Native notifications would be better in every way.

no one wants Teams notifications, they're worthless, just give us MacOS notifications and be done with this ridiculousness!

This is by far the most important feature I am looking forward to. The rest of my team, all Windows users, are anxious for the Windows variant of this as well.

Is there a release date yet? MacOSX & Win notifications are a user experience thing and for certain groups of users this is a big priority. Shuffling between both styles of notifications is great but as noted by another commentator some form of restriction would be required. Hopefully this can be accomplished by a user policy :)

With respect, 'choice between Teams notifications & Mac notifications' is a choice absolutely no one has asked for. That's an engineering choice that Mac administrators do not understand, which solves no problems. Unless this 'choice' can be enforced by a configuration profile, it does not help us create a consistent environment for our users.

We're a Microsoft house and it's a really hard sell to get our Mac environment customers to choose Teams over Slack. We have a 170 seat customer who is about to onboard Slack purely because of this issue! I think some priority should be applied here - a lot of feet dragging going on here and failure to meet advertised deadlines.

Here's another vote for using the native macOS notifications framework. This was so frustrating that I wrote about it here: https://www.brianmadden.com/opinion/A-rant-about-microsoft-teams-on-macos

This was last commented by admin on 8 april 2019. We are a few quarters later and still no fix, whats the status? I work in more teams and get a few notifications during a day. This is highly annoying!

This is ridiculous and makes Teams nearly unusable. It's a shame that my company made us migrate from Slack. Perhaps they'll allow us to go back once they see productivity drop because of missed notifications.
