How to Turn Off Microsoft Teams Notifications
When Microsoft Teams is set to run in the background, it will not have any impact on the operation of either the computer or the app on its own, as when you receive a call, it will only show you a little window at the bottom right corner of the screen. However, there is an issue if Microsoft Teams keeps appearing on the screen even when it is set to the minimized position.
