I can't switch back to Teams chat with Alt+Tab on Mac
Ok, I found a "solution" to force Teams to use the notifications.
Simple version:
01. You go to your teams https://teams.microsoft.com02. When it asks for notifications, give the permission and that's it.
As an App in your dock:
02. You copy the URL from your logged-in teams-tab (01.)
03. You install Epichrome
(Very useful, you can wrap a Website as a App and it appears in the dock. Basically is MS doing the same with their "App" except it uses Electron, Epichrome uses Chrome or Brave.)
04. Start it, go through the wizard, when it asks for the URL, give your Teams-URL and a fine name for it.
(Icon can be automatically downloaded)
05. Start the new app, log in, give permission for notifications. Since it is basically a browser, it is forced to use the default MacOS Notifications. Alt-Tab works again.
Alternatively, there is a way to make a WebApp with chrome. But I never use chrome.
Alt - Tab works again.
- That's perfect, just check "Disable GPU hardware acceleration" on Teams settings and restart it, works perfectly. Thank you! Saving a lot of time!
D_Claxton wow - thanks for the tip. This has been bugging me for years. I thought it was something that I would have to continue living with. Alt-tabbing on the Mac is how I jump around everything and this issue severely slowed me down.
- Excellent. But. How about if I need the GPU?
- Just unchecking the "New Meeting Experience" worked for me... thanks for the tip, this has been maddening.
