I keep mussing meeting reminders because the popup notification can be hidden behind other windows. Please just use system notifications instead.

I really don't know why this wasn't implemented yet! Earlier versions of Outlook already had it, and they have changed to this painful notification. If you're trying to make it more concise with the operating system that would be the first thing to fix.

Also the ability to Archive from the notification instead of only Trash. Both options (plus Move!) would be so helpful to process messages directly from the notification.

This would make outlook so much better, when using Do not Disturb, outlook still makes noise and also the upcoming meeting window can be hidden quite easily, use macOS notifications and its more integrated

And make sure Outlook respects the Do Not Disturb setting in Mac notifications!
Very annoying when Outlook plays it's notification sounds while in a remote meeting, teams etc

Using the custom notifications (currently) looks like some old system from 10 years ago, and I can't imagine it doesn't hurt the performance...

Please add this function. It would take literally 3 lines of code to get Outlook for Mac to use MacOS notifications.

I agree, as they are doing for Teams, the notification dialog is hidden behind other windows sometime, by using apple notifications it will bring it to the user's attention correctly.

If you do this, then how will "dismiss all reminders" work? I frequently have 10+ meeting reminders when I log in. Having to click on each one independently will be annoying!

Yes please!!!
AND
- Don't switch to Outlook when I DISMISS a notification/reminder. The reason for dismissing is that I don't need to be reminded anymore. If there would be a "Show details" button it would make sense but not if I decided that I don't need that notification/reminder anymore. So annoying!
- Provide calendar / upcoming event widget for notification center -

Ensure the reminder alert dialog either:
A) is displayed as a modal ALWAYS on top of other windows/applications, not just when Outlook for Mac has focus or...
B) Use native Notification Center, like when I get a new email.I often miss or am late to conference calls because I don't see the "Upcoming Events" reminder/dialog if I'm not explicitly using Outlook.

Still needing this.... two threads have been under review for years!

This is a MUST have. The current Outlook notifications can show up at any location on my monitors which can cause me to miss meetings. If I try and keep them in the same place as the OS notifications the Outlook notifications get hidden behind persistent OS notifications. IMO the current notification system is a lose lose.

I actually like the separate notifications, so maybe have an option to turn it on or off?
