Notifications in the "new" Teams are horrible. I keep missing activity posts, chats and phone calls because I'm not notified. I do NOT want another email report of new posts and things I missed throughout the day. I want a notification indicator on the taskbar icon, a notification indicator on the Activity/Chat/Calls icons in the left column, and I want the @ notification if I'm tagged in anything. I'm eager to use the "new" Teams but so far there are too many things are just plain terrible and useless.

    Has anyone found out if it is possible to get a notification when somebody answers in a thread?
    There used to be an option, per thread, to aktivate notifications when somebody answers to a thread (in which I myself never posted, but still want to get notified if someone else posts a message in that thread).
    I can't make out an notification-option, in the new teams, which allows this...

    I'm sorry, but the new Microsoft Teams does not support native desktop notifications. I totally wish there were native Windows desktop notifications, because I think the banner notifications are very unreliable.

    To answer your question, no, Teams on mobile has nothing to do with the notifications you receive on desktop.

    Hi Segunfunmi,

    I have tried all the options mentioned above in your article, but i am still unable to get notifications on my desktop screen.

    PS: I also have teams on my mobile phone which is linked with the same account. Has this got anything to do with the notifications on my desktop?

    Regards,

    Hitesh A.

    I just found out that desktop notifications were removed from the new Teams. I absolutely hate this change and wish it was reverted.

    +1, my new Teams notifications are not working on Mac. This is very frustrating. I made sure multiple times that everything is turned on correctly. The change in behavior happened with the "new" Teams version upgrade.
