Same problem here! In the old Teams, the green dot of the tray icon turned red when there was something unread. In the new Teams, the tray icon always stays the same, Teams icon with "NEW" label over it. Have they redirected notifications somewhere else? But then I wouldn't notice bc I've all this disturbing built-in notification stuff in Windows permanently deactivated.

    This problem was driving me crazy. Same problem on a new pc. I tried all the technical solutions and compared settings with colleagues who did not have the problem. Finally it turned out:

     

    DO NOT USE SMALL ICONS IN THE TASKBAR!

     

    Right click the tasbar > tasbar settings > Use small taskbar buttons: OFF

    Close Teams > Quit Teams in the tasbar > Restart Teams

     

    It may be related to screen resolution: I have 1920 x 1080 and 125% Scale and Layout

    omoroca it came back for me. I was without the badge notification for a week or so, then one day I restarted my computer and it came back. Maybe look to see if there is an update and restart… but new teams does have it… it seems to just glitch when you first get it… or at least for some. I have a few people in my office who never had the issue. I can’t explain it!!

      Ewilcosh No updates available. I will stick with the old Teams until the MicroScrubs release the next version of the new Teams.
