I am running i3 as a window manager together with Polybar. I need to run Teams for work, but have some issues with the Teams application when running Arch in a VM. Regardless, I would like to run Teams by just starting it as a Chromium application as follows:

chromium --app=https://teams.microsoft.com

This works great. Notifications are delivered through dunst, no mic auto adjust with a Chromium extension. The only thing I am missing now is a way to show a tray icon that shows me any incoming pending messages. Chromium supposedly will show a system tray icon but I do not see it (the system tray itself works fine); I have 'continue to run in background' enabled in Chromium.

Is it somehow possible to let Chromium show a Teams systray icon with some status as the app does?

No. All chromium --app does is open the web page in chromium. All the page knows is that it is opened in a web browser, and websites can't create systray icons.
