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.

FIXED!
This was driving me NUTS...totally screws up the workflow.
Then I switched the Notification style from "Teams built-in" to "Mac", and then **restarted Teams**.
Switching apps/teams with Apple+Tab now toggles across different desktops on Mac for me.
Hope it works for you!
MarcJirian Bummer. I was surprised by your comment, but you're right. It took about 3 days for it to revert, but I did have success by closing the app completely and re-launching. Annoying, but less so than it not working at all.
I hope they fix this ridiculous bug.
- Unfortunately it's more like 1hr usually. It's some process that triggers Teams CMD+TAB to break.
Perhaps screen sharing, or using CMD+TAB while in a meeting. Maybe a chat notification when on another desktop. Either way, amazed this is still not fixed 1 year later.
Also amazed you can search YouTube from the chat window, but entry level, basic functionality is not there like reply to a chat message (desktop)
