TeamsNotifier

A Firefox extension to send notifications for new messages in MS Teams.

Update

Notifications has officially been implemented.

Why do I need this?

The web app for Microsoft teams does not push desktop notifications, a strange feature to be missing in an instant messenging app. This maybe fixed in the future but in the mean time this extension should do the job.

Why no chrome?

This project originally started as a chrome extension, unfortunately chrome's API is lacking some features that are essential for the extension, see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=487422.

TODO:

• Focus window when clicking on notification or icon.
• Handle larger messages properly.
• Show notifications for channels.
• Only show notifications for followed channels.
• Handle uncommon message types: Likes, mentions etc.
