I'm using a PC and want Teams to stay as an icon in my task bar. How do I do that?

    On Windows, there are two common places Teams can appear:

    1. Taskbar Chat icon in Windows 11
      • Right-click the taskbar.
      • Select Taskbar settings.
      • Turn the Chat slider On.
      If the Chat icon is visible but Teams is not set up yet:
      • Select the Chat icon.
      • If Get Started appears, select it to configure Teams.
      If Teams is not installed yet:
      • Select the Chat icon.
      • If Continue appears, select it to install Teams for the signed-in user.
    2. System tray icon for Microsoft Teams
      • Right-click the taskbar and select Taskbar settings.
      • Open Other system tray icons.
      • Turn on Microsoft Teams so the icon stays visible in the system tray.

    If Teams is already installed and the Chat icon is turned off, Teams can also be found at Start > All apps > Microsoft Teams.

    When Teams is up and running, right click on the taskbar icon and select the "Pin to taskbar" option.
