Following a recent update that improved the performance of the application, Microsoft Teams for macOS has been updated again – this time with support for sharing the system’s audio with others. At the same time, Microsoft has confirmed that a future update will allow native notifications in the macOS version of the application.
As mentioned by Windows Latest, the latest version of Microsoft Teams for Mac now allows the user to share system sound when sharing the computer screen. The feature has been long awaited by Mac users, as the Windows version of Microsoft Teams has always had this option. Of course, the user can choose whether to share the sound screen or not.
Microsoft Teams for macOS gets a new feature that will finally allow other people to hear the sound played on your MacBook when you share the screen. Windows teams have always supported this feature and it will be optional. Once activated, you can play audio or video on your device and let other people hear the sound of the system, which would be very useful for teachers and companies.
Microsoft has also confirmed that support for native team system notifications will be enabled on macOS with a future update. The company began launching native notifications to Windows 10 users earlier this month, and the feature is expected to arrive on the Mac very soon.
Microsoft Teams on macOS currently uses its own notification system, which is not fully integrated with Apple’s operating system. With native notifications, Teams alerts will appear in the Notification Center along with other incoming messages.
There is no official release date yet for the release of this update, although Microsoft still says it will be available in April. It’s also unclear when the app will receive native support for the M1 chip, as it still runs on new Macs via Rosetta 2.
You can download the latest version of Microsoft Teams from the official Microsoft website.
