Microsoft Teams: Compact notification size for users [MC1107491]

We’re introducing a new compact toast notification size in Microsoft Teams for Windows. This update gives users the option to reduce the visual footprint of notifications, offering a cleaner, more minimalist experience that helps reduce screen clutter and distractions.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 496175.

[When this will happen:]

Targeted Release: Rolling out early July 2025, expected to complete by mid-July 2025.

General Availability (Worldwide): Rolling out mid-July 2025, expected to complete by late July 2025.

General Availability (GCC, GCC High, DoD): Rolling out late July 2025, expected to complete by late July 2025.

[How this will affect your organization:]

After this rollout, Windows users will be able to choose between the standard and compact toast notification sizes in Teams by navigating to:

Settings > Notifications > Choose Compact

This feature is off by default and must be enabled by the user. It is designed to improve focus and reduce screen clutter, especially in high-notification environments.

[What you need to do to prepare:]

No admin action is required. The feature will be available to all users once their Teams client updates to the supported build. There are no admin controls for this feature.

You may consider notifying your users about this new option to help them tailor their notification experience.
