Microsoft Teams is really a service whose usage skyrocketed this past year for obvious reasons, with a lot more than 115 million daily active users connecting to the service, according to the most recent stats.

The Redmond-based software giant has promised to release several important new features for Microsoft Teams, and one of these is support for Windows 10 notifications.

Quite simply, Microsoft Teams would feature native Windows 10 notifications, and the feature has been in testing since December.

But based on OnMSFT, Microsoft has now started the public rollout of Windows 10 notifications in Microsoft Teams, though right now, it appears the whole thing is happening gradually for users across the world.

On my device, however, the native Windows 10 notifications aren't yet live.

macOS notifications

In case you're wondering why this update is so big news for Microsoft Teams users, it's since the native Windows 10 notifications that only that blend better within the operating-system, but they also work with other OS features, for example Focus Assist. So in theory, they can be automatically switched to silent when users enable Focus Assist, something which right now isn't possible with the existing notification system.

As per the cited source, Microsoft also wants to bring native macOS notifications to Microsoft Teams, however for the time being, the one thing we know is the fact that the feature is projected to land later this month.

If you wish to check if the new notifications are live on your device, just open Microsoft Teams and head over towards the settings screen by clicking in your profile picture. Within the notifications section, looking for the Notification style dropdown, and if the feature is already available, you need to see an option called Windows which when enabled activates the native notification support.
