Ability to change whether Talk icon shows by default in sidebar

Hi @RikkiBC -

You're correct there is currently no capabilities check server-side, but there is an in-app toggle under Settings called "Show app switcher" that will disable the entire ecosystem app list. That does have to be set by each user however. The only way around having to do that is with a branded/custom client.

Hi @joshtrichards , it would be a preference of mine to be able to set it server side, just as you can set name, icon, theme colour server side (which works really well by the way) without needing to release a new version of a branded app.

The custom branded app is potentially a great option for large businesses. Being able to set it server/admin side is a bit more tenable for people running it for family and/or extended friend groups.

Especially since otherwise the app switcher list, I'd prefer to keep it as it's a simple way to show users what else is out there, I'd just prefer to remove Talk for now.
