Move push notifications to different monitor (Win 11)

[cengels]

One thing that's always bothered me about Windows 10 and 11 is that push notifications always appear on the primary monitor, even if you move the primary taskbar to another monitor (which you can't even do anymore in Windows 11).

The main problem with this is full-screen applications like games. Push notifications won't appear on top of full-screen applications, and full-screen applications always launch on the primary monitor as well, so I'll miss all notifications while a full-screen app is maximized.

In theory, notifications should still appear on top of full-screen applications unless a corresponding do-not-disturb rule in the Windows settings is enabled, but that hasn't personally been the case for me with a lot of apps and their notifications.

On that note, I wonder if it would be possible to add the notification tray to non-primary taskbars as well.

I realize this may be tricky to do, but it would be incredibly awesome if it could be done.

Hi, I just created a mod that allows to have notifications displayed on a different monitor:

With your use case of fullscreen games, I'm not sure that it will be enough, though, as I suspect Windows just doesn't show notifications when in fullscreen mode.

Is it possible to clone notifications - display them on all monitors? I often find that I don't catch the notifications w 3 or 4 monitors.

Currently that's not possible.

Works great except for Teams notifications. They still appear on the main monitor. I tried adding the path for the Teams executable to the "Custom process inclusion list" but it didn't work.
Any way to get this to work?

Do you have a screenshot? Perhaps Teams implements custom notifications.

Looks like indeed they implement custom notifications, and there seems to be an option to use the native Windows notifications, try setting this option:

You're welcome! Regarding the process lists, they control which programs the mod affects. In this case, the mod affects only system processes which control and show the notifications. Including other processes doesn't make sense for this mod, as other processes don't show notifications directly - they signal the system which shows the notifications in a centralized manner.
