    You cannot customize the notification duration currently. Recommended work around is teach you users to not close Teams, but to minimize it and have it pinned to the Taskbar, it will glow yellow etc. and be more noticeable than the systray.

    I wish when you close Team and had the option to always stay on, it would stay in taskbar but that's not the case.

    We def. need customization notifications. Duration, what is shown on them (Include the chat message or not), location etc.

    ChrisWebbTech ,

     

    This really needs to be fixed.  Skype opens a chat window and leaves it open until you consciously close it or respond.  But with everybody working from home, if I turn away from my computer for a moment, I miss the banner completely.  Although I understand the workaround, our company employees have been unhappy with this aspect of Teams ever since we switched from Skype.
