Meeting Reminder Notifications in MS Teams

Question

Hello there,

I was wondering if there's a way to set up meeting reminders, much like outlook has, where we get a notification that meeting will start in 15 minutes. I have my current settings turned on as shown below. However I don't see where we can get a banner notification or a ping in our "activity" where the meeting will begin soon? I've seen older threads from 2021 where it wasn't quite possible without a 3rd party app, and I was curious if that has changed since then?

Dear Sarah 2010,

Good day. After thorough research and consulting, it’s been concluded that Currently  In Microsoft Teams, meeting reminders are not available as a built-in feature like in Outlook. However, you can set up notifications for upcoming meetings by enabling the "Meetings" app in the Teams settings. This will show your upcoming meetings in the calendar tab and send you notifications for upcoming meetings. Unfortunately, as of now, there isn't a feature for banner notifications or pings in the "activity" feed for meeting reminders.
