How to have notifications more prominent and stay open?
We are trying to use Teams in our business, instead of Slack. The main reason is to have additional project related systems in one place. We can use Teams for video, files, notes, and even add in Asa...
- There are two steps you need to do. Initially, the Mac:System Preferences: Notifications tab won't even show Microsoft Teams in the list of Apps.

Do that, then close and reopen the Mac:System Preferences:Notifications tab and find "Microsoft Teams" in the list. Once you do that, you need to hit the Enable switch and configure them as you want! I just completed those steps and now I have persistent notification just like Slack.
Hope this helps.
Hi All,
It's 2023 and it's still an issue. IHMO, this is partly due to fact that Windows handles all notifications as 'toast'-type notification thru the Notification Center. Remember the old Outlook popups you could drag anywhere? PLEASE BRING THOSE BACK!!!! I use multiple monitors and have completely whiffed on a Teams conversation because I wasn't looking at my primary monitor. Furthermore, even when you see Teams blinking in the taskbar, the notification is unrelated to who sent it; rather, the title is the active conversation, even though there's nothing new in it. For these 2 reasons, I have missed many a notification. I can't even call Teams notifications terrible, as it's an insult to other terrible notifications...
