I had to remove and add again System Tray widget.
Comment 2 Karmo Rosental 2020-04-01 07:18:01 UTC
After every restart these icons are again invisible. It seems to affect not only Skype and Slack but every app that is not part of KDE.

A lot of work has gone into the System tray particularly for 3rd party applets since Plasma 5.19. Are you still experiencing this issue in 5.20?

I have not noticed this issue anymore in last weeks.
