Wrong Icon of the Teams app/list in sidebar

Question

For about a week or two, the icon of the "Teams" app/list in the left sidebar is not showing properly - instead of the original icon, I just get a strange square.

Two screenshots follow:

I am using the classic Teams client on Windows 7 x64. I originally thought this issue could be related to the update to the latest version. However, I uninstalled Teams and installed an older build (1.7.00.13456) to check, and the icon is still bad.

I understand the classic client is now no longer supported. Nonetheless, I have never encountered this before and it is visually rather annoying.

I wonder what could be causing this issue?

Thanks for any advice!

Answer 2

Hi @Ivan Bútora

Currently, the classic version of Teams has been discontinued, which may cause some problems. To avoid this problem, we recommend that you upgrade to New Teams.

You can also try clearing the Teams desktop client cache to see if the problem is solved:
