Make Microsoft teams notifications not open an entire new window
Ive install teams for arch and each notification that shows up opens a new window and takes up a huge a mount of space. Is there a way to make them more notification like? Or just make those windows float?

Re: Make Microsoft teams notifications not open an entire new window
I'd assume from the way you asked that you are using a tiling WM. Which one? Most of them allow you to configure certain windows to float which will allow them to open at their client-defined size rather than at the tiling size. But the means of doing this is different in each WM.

Re: Make Microsoft teams notifications not open an entire new window
The first examples did not work for my use case... If I want to use this,
for_window [title="Preferences$"] floating enable
How do i determine what the title of the window is?

Re: Make Microsoft teams notifications not open an entire new window
I'd advise against using the title, but using the class name is a good idea. That section links you to xprop which is how you find the properties like title and class.
