Notifications in the "new" Teams are horrible. I keep missing activity posts, chats and phone calls because I'm not notified. I do NOT want another email report of new posts and things I missed throughout the day. I want a notification indicator on the taskbar icon, a notification indicator on the Activity/Chat/Calls icons in the left column, and I want the @ notification if I'm tagged in anything. I'm eager to use the "new" Teams but so far there are too many things are just plain terrible and useless.

    I've had to switch back to old Teams. Kept missing messages and I relied on that taskbar notification when new messages arrived since I often end up with the app buried behind many other windows.

    After missing messages for over an hour until I happened to pull the app to the front, this is unacceptable. I do not live in Teams but do need to respond quickly when things come in.

    "Pop-up" notifications are NOT a solution (I turn them off), they drive me nuts and again, if I'm not looking when it happens to be there, I'll miss the message.

    Same for me. No indication for new messages is shown on the task bar icon. None of the proposed fixes works for me.

    "New" Teams is not shown in the list of senders in "Notifications & actions" settings.

    Yeah we have the same problem at our company. The issue is only with the new teams. The old teams still works.

    Same problem here, too many issues to be fixed, this doesn't seem to be ready for launch.
