I can't switch back to Teams chat with Alt+Tab on Mac
Norbiprg I can confirm this behavior on Mac. Alt + Tab works as long as no chat message arrives. As soon as you got a chat message, the notification window becomes the main window of the application and Alt+ Tab focuses this window instead of chat window.
For support, steps to reproduce:
- Start teams
- Alt + Tab to any other open program, for example Safari, then Alt + Tab back to Teams: It works
- Receive a chat message in teams from a contact
- Alt + Tab to Safari or any other open program, Alt+Tab back to Teams: It fails.
UPDATE: There is a workaround: In settings -> notifications I changed to 'custom setting' and switched all settings from 'Banner and Feed' to 'Feed only' or turned if off. Then the notification window won't appear and Alt + Tab behavior works like intended. Notification sound and red point on dock still works.

lrxg9. That worked for me for now. Thank you. I needed to change all 5 "All teams and channels" options to "Only show in feed" under Notification -> Custom. Then I had to restart Teams.
- Great suggestion, tried this but it didnt work for me. I set everything to "feed only", restarted Teams but it still does the same thing.
