Re: Is there any way at all to show a badge for unread messages on the taskbar icon?
Did you get the back on the taskbar icon or the system tray icon? I can get a badge on the taskbar icon, but if I close the window instead of minimizing it, then I don’t see the badge. Microsoft needs to put the badge on the system tray icon.Re: Is there any way at all to show a badge for unread messages on the taskbar icon?
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.Is there any way at all to show a badge for unread messages on the taskbar icon?
One of the most infuriating things about Teams is that when I receive a chat message but don't see it, there is no way to know about it unless I open the Teams window. I have the "Missed activity emails" setting at 10 minutes, but it only works maybe a quarter of the time. Is there a setting that would put a badge on the taskbar icon, like a smartphone would have? If not, why is that not a thing? How could Microsoft fail so hard at this?
