About this tag
The taskbar toast tag covers Windows 11 features that use a pop-up alert on the taskbar to notify users of cross-device activities. Recent content focuses on the 'Resume from your phone' feature, which surfaces a taskbar toast when an Android phone is linked to a PC, allowing users to continue Spotify playback with a single click. This functionality is currently rolling out to Windows Insiders in the Dev and Beta Channels. The taskbar toast serves as the primary user interface element for this handoff experience, providing a non-intrusive way to resume tasks across devices.
