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.
Adjusting alert preferences for messages, mentions, and activity within Microsoft Teams

Our users say the very short DURATION of the Teams popups is an issue as to why they're really "missable" as well. They should pop for longer.
I appreciate your feedback but if you read any of the previous 7 pages of feedback, it's not the not that the notifications are not on because they are. It's that new Teams notifications are horrible and just plain don't notify the end user in a way that is helpful. They're SLOWLY getting a little better but I still only know when I get notifications only when I'm sitting in front of my pc with Teams open on one of my multiple monitors. I'm still missing many notifications.
Totally agree. Pop-ups for Teams spaces should be more like pop-ups for Chats. Show the content -- it's easily "missable" without that. Have the ability to get a pop-up without @'ing people. It's one of the most common complaints about our transition from Webex to Teams: notifications suck. People miss notifications in Teams.
It's completely bonkers that Microsoft won't roll this forced 'update' back, and fix the issues. Not that I loved this app before, but it's practically useless now.

Hi all,
You need to turn on the [Notification Centre] => switch, even if I use a Macbook (OSX).
