You can now customize the location of notifications in Teams

Hi, Microsoft 365 Insiders! I’m Petr Klabal, a Product Manager on the Teams team. We are thrilled to let you know that you can now personalize the placement of notifications on your screen.

Customize the location of notifications in Teams​

With the ability to customize the position of notifications in Teams, you gain:

• Greater focus: By positioning notifications in less intrusive areas of the screen, you minimize distractions and better concentrate on tasks.
• Improved productivity: With notifications appearing where they are most visible and least disruptive, you can stay informed without breaking your workflows, thereby boosting overall efficiency.
• Intuitive and flexible interface: You can adjust notification locations to best fit your current workspace, ensuring a seamless, comfortable, and adaptable working environment.

How it works​

1. To use this new setting, go to Settings > Notifications and activity > Display.
2. Select the option for notification location that best suits your needs and preferences: Bottom right, Top right, Bottom left, or Top left.
