Hello All, Teams banners are not showing up in Apple Notifications:On Catalina: 10:15:5,MS Teams (from MS Office 365), Version 1.3.00.18164 I am getting banners, for the requisite 5 seconds, but when I go to pull down the Mac OS Notifications list, it is not listed there. When I go to "System Preferences"-->"Notifications", I don't see "Teams" listed. Should I? I feel it should be integrated with the Mac notification so that the Teams' notifications can be viewed after the 5 second banner disappears, and also in the order received with other notifications. If I miss that 5 second display (maybe I had an alternate desktop obscuring the banner), it's essentially lost to me. Thanks for you time/help.Mundeli

JustaUser Hi there - this is currently on the Roadmap to be rolled out this month: Feature ID: 66743 Attached is a pic of what the Teams notifications settings looked like in an early preview of MacOS native notifications in Teams. Once that rolls out you will be good to go 🙂

I'm really looking forward to this -- right now Teams notifications often pop up behind the MacOS notifications, and I'm left sorting through multiple MacOS notifications before I can even see or respond to the Teams one. Also super annoying when I'm on a non-Teams meeting and Teams ignores the system do not disturb state. I currently just shut the Teams app if I don't want to be disturbed.

I have noticed that Microsoft Teams is available in the System Preferences / Notifications list, when I don't remember it even being there before. Is that just my own delusion? I'm using the public preview.

  It's not available in the preferences on the Macbook with the M1.

I'm sorta staggered that this hasn't been implemented, and that nobody is communicating outwards. This should be the definition of MUSTFIX?

Does anybody at MS actually use Teams on Mac?

This is a very big need for our Mac users as well. I am continually missing Teams notifications. Get Skype, Outlook, other Office notifications via Mac OS notifications. I guess you still have a few days left in February, please get this rolled out!

I am a "me too" on this. I often have 1 or 2 notifications sitting in the corner of my primary display waiting for me to do something before I acknowledge. Microsoft Teams notifications show up in the same corner of the same screen, BEHIND native mac OS notifications, so I cannot see the Teams notifications.

At a minimum, Teams should allow me to configure notifications to a different location. Ideally Teams would use the native mac OS notification system.

  It is interesting that the roadmap still states a February release for this feature and we are now into March, when the original projection for release was Oct. 2020. Microsoft never fails to disappoint in so many ways.

    Now that they changed release time to March. Just hoping they don't keep pushing the release time. I really thought that they have a release planned in Oct 2020. But seems like the release time is a joke.

  Me three!! If Outlook for Mac can do it, so can Teams. Microsoft, please keep the pedal to the metal towards this roadmap! Our small office uses Microsoft software everywhere else except for Slack for this reason alone.

For anyone interested it looks like an anticipated February release of this feature is just around the corner: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?SilentAuth=1&rtc=1&filters=&searchterms=66743

    UmutUclerIt was just around the corner in October too. Must be a wide arc!
    MS, it has been demonstrated, has the same estimating issues as practically all developers do, they just operate on a different scale.

Would love to see this implemented!! Non-native Teams notifications are pretty hacky. Please count this as a vote to develop this for release.

JustaUser, agreed - it is becoming frustrating having the Teams notifications and pop-ups expire when away from my machine, when integration with MacOS notifications would allow a persistent notification that could not be missed. I've always found it interesting that Outlook and the rest of the office suite is well-integrated while other Microsoft products are not...for example in outlook the settings are found under the drop down menu in the menu bar, while teams settings are found under the profile section of the teams window itself...this creates very little consistency from a users point of view.

Hi,

Has this been rolled out yet? I am still not seeing this option under Team's Notifications settings.

Thanks

  I am having the same problem. Constantly missing notifications on teams because they are still not native and I do not have an option to choose native either. This is horrible.

  Is this being rolled out any time soon, or is there some way to get on an early beta testers software update track to gain early access to this feature?

  Ethan Stern Any chance this is coming soon? By soon, I mean in the next week or two. My company's switching from Skype/Teams hybrid to Teams only next month and I'm afraid I'll be missing messages.

  Hello,
  After all this time, what's the status with those native macOS notifications?
  Still working on it?
  Don't you have enough macOS software engineers? 😉
