Why do Teams for Linux notifications not include the name of the sender?

Question

Why is this? It's almost as important as the message itself.

I'm using i3 on Ubuntu 22.04 with Teams version I-don't-have-a-clue-because-where-is-that-specified?

Have you tried cleaning the Teams cache via the following cmdlet?

rm -r ~/.config/Microsoft/Microsoft\ Teams

Answer 3

This message was actually sent by user "Cam", but the image does not make this clear. It could have been from any of the participants, myself excluded, and there's no way to tell from the notification itself:

No, I haven't tried cleaning the Teams cache. Incidentally, why is the cache in ~/.config? That is not where runtime data should be stored!

Edit, I cleared the cache directory and it didn't make any difference.
