Integrate with Windows 10 notification center
Use Windows 10 notification center for notifications
Yann
shared this idea
As the last status states, we have been testing for several months. Although many people have asked for this feature, we received a similar amount of feedback from other users that they prefer the Teams notifications and don’t want them changed. We are currently testing a feature for users to choose between Teams notifications & Windows notifications.
We will update you as work progresses.

notifications suck for me I just realized like 8 hours later 3 people talked to me and I never realized that is there way to when clicking the close button this teams is minimized? since the icon at left is so bad for notifications without saying those banners suck you are sharing your sharing and chatting sensitive data with a coworker who replies some time later

To view the Action Center in Windows 10, click the Notifications icon on the taskbar. The Action Center lists items requiring attention, such as updating software or checking the status of a failed backup. At the bottom of the Action Center lie the Quick Settings buttons. The Action Center.

If you do this, please let us pick. There are several people that dislike the W10 Notification Center, and it is super annoying to have to click MORE to get rid of some notifications.

Has anyone seen this come up on their developer preview builds? I honestly haven't seen ANY new features show up for me so I don't even know what the point of the dev preview selection is.

I am amazed that the latest update is telling us well half of the people like it while half do not. Wouldn't it make sense to let the user change it as they want? Being called one of the most customizable chat application there is a lot of basic features that need to be implemented. A

There seems to be a flag `enableNativeNotification` that will enable system notifications in the developer preview of Microsoft Teams.

Listen, if we could just have the option to configure our teams notifications properly WITHIN teams, integration w/ Win10 notifications would be less of an issue. But I really don't have the control I want over Teams notifications within the app. Why have you guys not fixed this yet? You don't have to integrate if you just fix it inside the app to begin with. Most of these options I am given in the Teams app aren't what I need. It's false control.

User feedback for our company centers around presentations where presenters must be able to shut off notifications quickly and easily so that banner pops ups and sounds are not alerting while sharing a screen and with an open microphone. Adjusting individual Teams notifications is complex and inefficient for users. Windows Focus Assist is of some help here along with the Notifications shutoff, but won't affect Teams which makes little sense. I agree a simpler approach to the Notifications area in Teams would make this more attractive as a platform because its less bothersome to the user. Adding Teams Notifications settings to the Help menu might be one way to keep this less hidden since most users don't go into their profile area Settings after initial setup.

The Teams notifications wouldn't be so bad if they were more customizable - with Windows notifications, you can set how many seconds they hang out in the corner, but with Teams there seems to be no way to configure this, and I've timed it at 15 whole seconds for me in Windows! (I'm surprised to see it's 5 seconds for some people, I guess it's different on phones...? I wish 2 seconds were an option, though...)

Teams notifications are frustrating to say the least. If you are not able to integrate them in Windows notifications over 4 years, at least give us the chance to make the latest notification hide the previous ones in such a way we only have one on screen at any time. I'm working with various software that, you know, need the right space of the screen, like levels in Photoshop or the inspector in Chrome. Right now I find myself slowed down in my job because constantly having to close notifications clogging up the whole right column of my screen.

In Teams, is there a way to stop the box that pops up in the bottom right corner of my computer screen everytime a new chat message is sent to a group or reply back to me? the pop up box can be very distracting when they keep popping up. In Skype, the notification I receive is an audible sound and the icon on bottom of my computer screen blinks to signal that a new message has come in. is there way to accomplish this or something similar?

Another reason why native Windows 10 notifications would be very welcome, is accessibility for screen reader users. Currently, it is not possible to focus a notification with a global shortcut, so if you want to focus it, you'll have to use alt+tab until you reach the notification, if it's not already dismissed after the five seconds period. Windows 10 notifications can be focused with a shortcut key (Windows+shift+v). Not to mention that the reply functionality in the current notification is far from ideal when using a screen reader.

One big problem about notifications on Windows is that they show up at the bottom right corner, exactly over the Teams chat. It is very common that I cannot see in the screen what I am writing. One suggestion is that one could configure where info appear on the screen, or the popup appear on screen. I myself would move the chat list to the right, so that the popup does not bother me, or change the popup to the upper right corner on Windows. I frequently use the popup for a fast response while doing something else on Teams.

Hi Alex, months testing? Any news? There should be a setting in Teams that the user can activate or not the W10 notifications

So, there is 2020 and still in testing?? This is very important feature! Because Windows notification center keeps notifications until you read them and Teams notifications disappears after 5 seconds and thus you don't have history for context. There should be an option to switch between Teams and Windows notifications.

For me, the most important feature with this integration is dismissing a teams notification with middle mouse click. It really annoys me how I cannot do that with the current notification schema.
