will it be possible to remove user IDs on the search results from the Chat functionality.

It would be good to be able to sort the lists, or always put Favorites at the top.

Why can I not set an OOF status with a message?

Refresh more often. And people will use it better

When I click my avatar on the top right and change my status to "busy", Teams continues to display "Available".

Make permissions more secure. Someone was able to join a private team I created. Another team owner complained about this as well.

On Skype and other apps you can set up groups and easily click on the group to see who is available. You don't have to manually search each individual person. Teams is not user friendly and on the PC takes up way too much space.

Consider:
You are part of a HUGE HUGE HUGE company yet people are not appreciating your efforts as much as you deserve. Pull some higher resources using your determined confidence and get Teams to support Emojis - morale before usability!!! :D

Example: "Working Remotely"

If this is to replace skype business, then it is a very poor replacement solution.

Issues importing business contacts, unable to see who is online easily.

Not easy for users to see at a glance what we need without all the other junk getting in the way.

All in all a very poor replacement and we will be looking for a skype style replacement and cancelling the package we are on, possibly a WhatApp style replacement.

Sometimes you want to make a surprise to someone and ask the whole company to contribute to it. I could create a Team or a Private Chat and add people manually one by one.

Wouldn't it be cool if could just exclude that one person (or perhaps multiple)? Perhaps through a channel?

Provide the ability to view the whole company organisational structure, not just who i report into or who reports into me. At times we get asked to look a the structure to check if its correct and a single view would be great. Yes there are 3rd party tools but I don't see why this cant just be an inherent feature as partial views are already shown.

Leverage the Who Tab to make it easier to find contacts and presence. Add it is a standard button just under Chat and above Teams. Have another Tab, (Just like Collaborators) for Contacts that you can add from your Exchange Contacts, possibly another one for Favourites. Ultimately the ability to create your own Contact Group
The reason I keep going back to SfB rather than operate solely out of Teams is the ease with which I can find people. An expanded Who Tab that I can get to in a single Click rather than multiple steps would be great.

i can never find anyone. just make the search bar do all the **** work.

When clicking on the menu - manage team; it takes between 20 secs - 1.5 minutes to update the status of all the users in the list, whether they are guests or not.

Is there any way to identify people with a characteristic? For example, I want to associate a person to a characteristic / area of expertise. Is there any way to do it?
Furthermore, is there any way to customize / add areas of expertise?

You must be able to remove everything in the conversation. To show that you delete and add names in the TEAMS group do not fill in any function. Then you must also be able to change the Welcome picture.
