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

Is Microsoft ever going to fix this? This is really annoying, please advise if anyone out there has a solution to this. I cannot revert back to the old MS Teams, when I do my Outlook stops working!

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.

I don't get it; how can you release a NEW version of an application that is missing the basic functionalities of the previous version?

Only Microsoft can do this and get away with it.

Very annoying indeed.

Trying the New teams, instead of my taskbar showing me a checkmark or away status. the taskbar teams just says "New"

Hi Dylan,

I am experiencing the same issue, and the frustration is real because this function is crucial to my workflow.

I received the following message from Microsoft on my thread, so hopefully this helps ease your mind:

Where did my status dot go? __Teams Update_"Teams New" _ Taskbar _ Application Icon__ (Windows10)

I also confirmed the article he posed was legit and the problem is being worked on currently.

Hopefully, this helps you, like it helped me!

This is not correct. The "New" flag indicates that it's "new Teams", not that you have a new message.
