Is there any way at all to show a badge for unread messages on the taskbar icon?
Hi iamjamieq AFAIK, there is no way to indicate unread messages on the taskbar. The best suggestion I could find is the first response in this prior post: Unread messages Tab in Teams similar to Outlook - Microsoft Tech Community
There are several Uservoice items related to separating out unread messages (folders, highlights, etc). You might want to search "unread messages" on that site and vote for the ones that closely approximate what you'd like to see.
ThereseSolimeno That is a serious failure on MS's behalf. Smartphone apps put badges on app icons for the same reason that Teams should. I mean, Outlook has the envelope icon (which, while broken and also insufficient itself, at least exists), but Teams has nothing. For such a large, enterprise-focused company, and what with the pandemic putting so much focus on Teams, I can't believe they would fail to add this. Anyway, thanks for the reply.
