Description

https://blogs.gnome.org/aday/2017/08/31/status-icons-and-gnome/

From GNOME 3.26, status icons will not be shown in GNOME Shell by default.

This requires re-designing applications or instructing users to use the Gnome TopIcons extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/495/topicons/
