(permanent) visual notifications of Teams when used via web (teams.microsoft.com)
I'm using Windows 11 with Microsoft Edge and teams.microsoft.com with the 'Install this site as an app' feature of edge to get a dedicated taskbar icon for Teams. When receiving a chat message, a not...
StevenC365 : thanks, indeed that's what I was hoping for: a count of missed notifications, but it's just not there in case of Teams web chat notifications. It's there in other cases: for example when I take a screenshot (ctrl+alt+s) it will display a '1' inside a blue circle to indicate a (missed) notification. I'll further dive into the Windows configuration of notifications to see if I can find anything.
I'm looking into a specific use case where the full Teams client is not an option due to company policy (conditional access).
After some further testing this seems intended behavior by Microsoft.
- Other websites do create persistent notifications
- on teams.microsoft.com: if I close the tab in Microsoft Edge during the 5 seconds that the notification is displayed in the banner, the notification is not automatically removed. This seems to indicated that the teams.microsoft.com website is actively clearing the notification. It's not a Windows config.
Maybe this helps someone else

- Is there a way to enable "permanent" notifications in Microsoft Teams PWA on Windows so that they stay in Windows Notification Center just like Google Chat, GMail and other notifications? I'm having the same issues because of lack of any visual clues about missed messages when returning to my PC and have to remember to open the app itself to check for missed messages. Using desktop app is not an option, since it requires to join another domain (security setting set by a company). I agree that MS Teams seems to be proactively removing notification entry after showing banner (~5 seconds) unlike other PWA apps I got.
