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.
Try right clicking on the Teams icon in the bottom bar, pick Options and then assign to all desktops. just did this and it appears to be better. I also started to expand the window to full size without maximizing the window. Norbiprg
CaryNC27519 - yeah, that works - but the thing about Spaces on the Mac is that different desktops are for different things. I'd rather not have Teams in all of those windows.
It's a good solution though - in the absence of any others!
- "Try right clicking on the Teams icon in the bottom bar, pick Options and then assign to all desktops. " This did the trick for me, on MacOS, thank you very much for posting the solution!
