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 have seen a dozen different fixes all related to settings. It is not a settings problem. There have been a couple of suggestions that have temporarily worked but Teams always reverts back to not notifying you of new messages.

    Hi all,

    I understand your frustration regarding this issue and here are some tips to have the issue resolved:

    Step 1 - Open your windows settings
    Step 2 - Go to personalization
    Step 3 - Click on Taskbar behaviors and make sure that “Show badges on taskbar apps” is checked. 
    Step 4 - Go to Apps > Installed apps > look for Microsoft teams then click on 3 dots then click terminate > reset > repair.

    Hopefully this will help y'all!

    -Angel

    Same issues. I have to keep Teams up in Edge just to get alerts. They will update/pop up sometimes hours later.

    The only thing I've figured out with the new Teams is that to ensure I get all notifications I need to have Teams visible on my monitor at all times. AND constantly check it for new notifications. I have three monitors. I have three monitors for a reason and in order for me to keep an eye on my Teams I would lose one monitor and be stuck at my desk. There is an option to receive emails of posts but I do NOT want another email. That's just really a dumb feature. I'm missing chats from our director, missing chats from my boss, missing meetings because the start of the meeting notification pops up for about 3 seconds then disappears. Teams is supposed to make our work days more efficient but all it's doing is causing me to look bad in front of my leaders. We need the little red circles and exclamation marks back on the badge.

    Something else I've noticed is that if my Teams is minimized and I see something pop up on my badge, when I open Teams, if it's already on Chats, whatever new chat is there Teams will immediately mark it as read. I then have to go searching for my new chat message because the bold disappeared to quick.
