Feature Request:

Enable teams-for-linux to open an additional window as meeting notification. The window contains the meeting title and a button for joining the meeting. The window would stay open until the user joins the meeting or dismisses the window.

The purpose is to have a more prominent reminder for the upcoming meeting and an easy way to join the meeting.

Appreciating this change, too! Currently, I'm using this app, because I get a tray icon. In addition to that I keep the PWA open to get the additional notification window.

To be able to add a "join" button we will need to create our own notification window. We use to have one, but it was a bit unreliable. I will put it on the 2.0 roadmap as, when ms moves away from angular to react, we will need to re-implement quite a few things)

@IsmaelMartinez Before I open another issue: When this is implemented it should also be ensured, that the window is visible on all workspaces.

I have the teams client running on a dedicated workspace and I never get any visual notification on incoming calls when I'm on another workspace. I only hear the incoming call sound.

If this can be improved without having a separate window I can also create a new ticket.

EDIT: Sounds like same issue as #313 but the enableDesktopNotificationsHack mentioned there seems to be gone now?

the enableDesktopNotificationsHack is gone now, and what this feature will need is basically something similar, but it was a bit unreliable (far too much of a hack).

I will see if at some point I can look into this, but anyone is more than welcome to have a go at it. ;)

maybe also add requests from #941 and #699

Maybe we can use https://github.com/mikaelbr/node-notifier (or find an alternative that is also maintained)
