# How do I hide the minimized Cloud Voice App Desktop on the Windows taskbar?

When you minimize the Cloud Voice App Desktop, its icon normally stays visible on the Windows taskbar (the bar along the bottom of the screen). If you would rather keep the app out of the way, you can turn that behavior off so a minimized window drops to the system tray instead.

:::note
This setting applies only to the Cloud Voice App Desktop for Windows.
:::

1. In the Windows system tray, right-click the Cloud Voice App icon and choose **Settings**.

   :::tip
   The system tray is the small cluster of icons next to the clock at the far-right end of the taskbar. If you do not see the Cloud Voice App icon there, click the upward arrow (**Show hidden icons**) to reveal icons that Windows has tucked away.
   :::

2. Under **System**, clear the **When minimized, display in the task bar** checkbox.

Once minimized, the app no longer shows on the taskbar. It keeps running in the system tray, so calls and messages still come through. To restore the taskbar behavior, reopen **Settings** and select the same checkbox again.
