Some apps like signal or steam close to the systemtray in Windows or KDE. When I'm in gnome, how do I view these programs or manage them?

I would prefer not to install any extensions.

I'm pretty sure I had it in my tray in Ubuntu. The Gnome panels have multiple possible containers, one of them takes tray icons. Are you sure it's not just hidden? For me it was in the box next to the power menu. Did you try and start other apps with tray icons to test it (like idk pidgin)?

Also maybe check if you have a systray whitelist blocking it in dconf.
