    Hi Dylan

    I’m Garcia and I will be happy to help you with your question, I am a Microsoft consumer like you. Additionally, this is a user support forum and Independent Advisors cannot access accounts.

    The new Teams experience in the Taskbar is different from the classic Teams experience. Instead of showing a checkmark or away status, the Taskbar Teams icon will display the "New" label when you are in a new Teams chat. This change allows you to quickly identify new chats and respond to them without having to open the full Teams app.

    You can provide Microsoft with your feedback --- https://support.microsoft.com/office/c0fb6297-22af-4db5-b19b-69e0a6720927

    Best regards, Garcia

    This is simply not true. The "New" tag is because we're using the new Teams... and it's awful. An App's icon should not be a ad space, I just want to know what app I'm using. Please MS, get rid of this!

    No. Just the "new" banner still. No other notifications at all on the tray icon

    I actually just found this link to known issues and I think this should update in November.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoftteams/new-teams-known-issues Coming in November

    • Support for NDI, SDI, and ISO streaming of Teams media content.
    • Set presence in taskbar.
    • Show and set presence in system tray.
    • Channel meeting start notifications for users added after the original meeting invite.

    Hopefully, you saw what Microsoft has planned for November.
