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.

Agreed! Teams needs to work with OSX Notifications and respect DND.

OSX has native notifications that work very well, and integrating into the notification system of the O/S makes things work better!!!

Yes please! It is crazy that it does not integrate. When I put DND on, i expect apps to follow it, not work around it!

My company just switched to Teams and today I performed my first screen share with a big client since the switch. What an amazing discovery that the Mac's normal notification shut-off ignored by Teams. Our client now knows we do work with one of their clients and that we think that one employee at said second client behaves like many four letter words. Nice.
Anyway, I have turned off Notifications completely in Teams. I find that easier than going into settings each time to switch it each time. I would normally quit Teams, but sometimes you need to ask a question of someone while presenting.
Please fix this - integrate with MacOS notifications. Thank you.

This should be added under the Mac tag, it would be in the top 3 requests for that tag, and may get more visibility

We're 3 users in my team that would need this feature !!! We need to let know team members that there's new stuff without having to send them an email :)

The app notifications should use the OS notification framework (both in OSX and in Windows 10), not create it's own notifications.

Push-Notifications on Mac OS don‘t behave as they should. They can‘t be muted by the „do Not disturb“ function.

Due to the lack of integration with macOS native notifications I cannot use the "Do not disturb" feature which is extremely critical when presenting. I have to exit Teams instead and then I keep forgetting to start it after the meeting so I end up not running it half of the time.

Agreed. And make notifications still work if the Teams app isn't running. I don't want to have an extra icon on my dock. A menubar item would work.

You need to use OSX notifications or at least fix your notifications to stay up until read if wanted. This is very frustrating

Not getting Notifications from Teams is holding back adoption. Even though we follow channels, no notifications. People not willing to give up Skype for Business and Slack combo without notifications.

This is important! Mostly because I cannot dismiss the custom notification with a swipe which I can do with native notifications.
Native API isn't perfect, but it's better than building a custom solutions that doesn't match how the rest of my native apps behave.

I will add that the Teams notifications look nice but they are very large on macOS and cannot be swiped out of the way like native macOS notifications.
Often the notifications on macOS get in the way of things like the Teams controls when the app is maximized or controls in other applications you need to click on.
You can solve this by:
1) Making the notifications smaller
2) Using native macOS notifications
3) or move notifications to the bottom right corner like you have on the Windows app which doesn't get in the way.Thanks!

Plus to this one. Also, the notification UI is ugly.

Could a future version please use OS X's native Notification Center for notifications, vs MS own special dialogs? The inconsistency and placement right over Notification Center alerts is unwanted.

Use System notifications for macOS desktop app.
This comes with multiple advantages:
- Not shown if Do Not Disturb mode is on
- Built-in reply functionality
- Easy to dismiss with a swipe
- Consistent with entire OS -

This isn't just about looking right. I put on "do not disturb" whenever I have a meeting and I need to share my screen. This disables all notifications.
That doesn't work for Teams and can potentially expose something very embarrassing while screensharing. Like someone making a comment about another person not thinking it might show up on a webconference.
Do not disturb is an important feature. Don't break it please.
