    Hi Linda,

    I just noticed the New Teams finally updated the status dot to reflect what status we have in Teams. Yay! Try restarting or updating the application :)

    Double-checked by changing my status, see the screenshots below

    "Version

    You have Microsoft Teams version 23335.219.2592.8659(preview).

    You've got the latest version. It was last updated on 1/11/2024.

    The client version is 49/23113028720."

    Mine always looks like this: Image

    The only time I've seen it change is when I missed a call or a chat, then it shows red.

    Interesting, mine is showing as updated. Try reinstalling Teams

    Just a thought but it is worth checking in Taskbar settings that "Show badges on taskbar buttons" is enabled

    For me changing the taskbar icons back to large resolved the issue. When using small taskbar icons it shows "New", when using large taskbar icons, it shows the status.
