Turn on the new experience
You do this via a checkbox in Teams Settings. Here’s how:

2. Select Turn on the new meeting experience.
3. Restart Teams by fully quitting and restarting it again.

It has been three years since the "Reflect" in TEAMS has been rolled out. The icons still do not appear in the general channel when a Check-In is scheduled. Two help tickets later, and still not resolved. This is what appears:

Yes, TEAMS is updated, and has been closed & re-started multiple times. All the standard responses via the help ticket have not been successful.
