@zadjii-msft commented on GitHub (Jan 24, 2022):

Hmm. This might be a docs issue.

The tray icon functionality is still only available in Preview builds of the Terminal:
0480597abb/src/features.xml (L67-L72)

We did this to restrict the audience a bit while we sorted out remaining issues with the implementation. It's been a few months though and there haven't really been any issues with it, so maybe we should just turn that on for stable 🤔

(tray icon did first ship in https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases/tag/v1.11.2421.0 but the bot was down then so none of the issue/PR have the release number posted)

(for linking #10448)
