Integrate with Windows 10 notification center
Use Windows 10 notification center for notifications

Thank you for your feedback. We’re happy to announce that an option to choose between Windows 10 Native Notifications and Teams Notifications is included in our Dec 2020 Public Preview pack, and will be available to users who opt into Public Preview.
Please see feature details here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams-public-preview/now-in-public-preview-windows-10-native-notifications/m-p/1973102
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

2021 here...trying to record a how-to video tutorial and about 20 minutes in I get a Teams pop-up, despite Focus Assist being on, so I need to start all over again. With the world immersed in COVID, telework and MS Teams, how is this not fixed already??

This needs to be in the main build. 90% of teams users are business users... Private users will use Discord or Zoom. If you are using it withing a buisness setting, you WON'T have access to the public preview. Having my email on one screen and the meeting open on another, and getting a purple tile EVERY TIME I get a chat message is incredibly frustrating. At very least, there should be an option to turn off the tile notifications independily of the feed. I still want the sound, the indication on the tray icon, and the bolded text on the app, but no obnoxious tile pop-up.

Come oon! How can it take you 4 years to implement such a basic feature?? Both Windows and Teams are made by Microsoft. Why's it so difficult for you to use your own APIs and native OS features?
It still isn't available in production and my administrator won't allow me to switch to some wonky buggy Public Preview.People are paying for this broke poorly optimised non-native non-UWP thing (speaking of Microsoft 365).

It would also be nice to disable that aggressive orange flashing effect on the Taskbar when a notification arrives and Focus Assist is on.

@Alex, any update on when this is likely to move out of preview to general release?

I am glad it is an option. So then I choose which ever one works correctly more often.

It's exciting that this is in preview, but now instead of my problem being "Teams notifications are terrible", it's "my org admin won't enable Public Preview". Progress?

Please use the proper notification system for windows. Having them overlap is a nightmare

A must have ! It is so distracting to get notifications even on focus mode. I usually end up closing teams and missing some infos... That's counter productive not to have this.

Re the last comment about disabling notifications, open Teams, click your user profile pic, then choose Settings. There's a whole "Notifications" page where you can turn each type of notification on or off. (I agree it would be nice to have one place to snooze or disable all notifications at once, though -- which would be easy if they'd just integrate with the OS notifications system already!)

I just want to turn notifications off in the Teams desktop application. My kids are using it for school and notifications are popping up all the time and distracting them.

I work for a certain company and we have lots of users missing calls since Teams notifications won't show over full screen apps, this is a very fatal flaw and may be a dealbreaker.

I would like it to be integrated with the Windows 10 notification center. I am finding Teams notifications are not persistent and can be missed.
