Why is when i use the "New" teams, my taskbar doesnt show status just says "new"

I have the same issue. I also could right click on the icon in the taskbar and change my status but now there is no option. Is this a glitch or will there not be a way to quickly see and change my status via the taskbar?

When Teams is active, you can set your status from the Taskbar, even when you're working in another app.

1. In the Taskbar, hover over the Teams icon   .
2. When the Teams thumbnail image shows, select the status to display.

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

Thank you! This was actually helpful.

Get "Move Mouse" from Microsoft in the app store and you will always be a green circle.

This is exactly why I had to go back to the old Teams. I keep missing many calls as I'm busy working on one screen, and, when I go to the other screen to check on my Teams status in the system tray, all I see is "New" for the version, no status. I have to actually open Teams fully to see if there are any messages waiting for me. It was just plain dumb that Microsoft did not include "Show and set presence in system tray" before releasing the new Teams. Microsoft, are you reading this?
