Microsoft Teams: Customize the location of notifications [MC949959]

Microsoft Teams will soon allow users to personalize the placement of notifications on their screens. Users will be able to choose from four options: bottom right, top right, bottom left, or top left—to make notifications more convenient and less disruptive, enhancing both focus and productivity. This message applies to Teams for Windows desktop.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 469491.
