Trying the New teams, instead of my taskbar showing me a checkmark or away status. the taskbar teams just says "New"
Managing presence indicators such as Available, Busy, or Away to reflect user availability
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Seriously, why would anyone come up with an idea to display a "new" label in a taskbar icon to indicate this is the new version ? LOL.
Im going back to classic one until this is solved.
Same. Why the "new" label? Just give us back the presence status on the bar and tray icons. It's so much more useful.
Do you really think that answers the question?
I went under Settings-->General-->System section and checked "Register the new Teams as the chat app for Microsoft 365 (requires restarting Microsoft 365 applications)".
After a computer restart, I got my first message notification in "new Teams." Maybe this is success?
Hello, this LITERALLY does not answer the question. We want to see our "Available" and "Away" checkmark status on the taskbar. Having "New" there does nothing for the users. Can you please tell Microsoft to fix this?
