Chat with external users needs to have added functionality in order to replace Skype for Business. Images, formatting and emojis are a bare minimum of what is to be expected in a modern application.

Being able to see if a user is typing or has seen a certain conversation in a channel would be really handy. When team members don't respond I'd like to know if they at least saw the conversation to that point to know if I need to reach out to them again or not.

As soon as I start Teams I put my status to not available. Please make it possible to define that as my default status so that I don't need to put it to not available every day and every time I re-start the system. Thanks in advance.

Where is the "Reset Status" option? When I go on DND, then I come back, how should I handle my status? This was straightforward in Skype for business with Reset Status.

Please add the ability to manage an auto reply based on status to alert others that you are away or set to do not disturb.

similar things for comparison:
-In outlook you can control auto replies
-in outlook if you are emailing someone with an auto-reply enabled, it alerts you that you are sending a message to someone who is away

Allow all users to be able to see who has seen a post @ the bottom of the recent message

Have an indicator on the Teams taskbar icon and tray icon that indicates your current status

It would be great to see a status/presence of when a user is signed in only on their mobile. It helps other users to realize if the person they are contacting may have a delay in responding because they may not see the details on their mobile (perhaps they are driving).

We hope to have a sorting for view member from Online to Offline

Most chat software allows this, we just moved from HipChat and really missing this feature.

From a user who has been using Skype for Business for the past 3+ years, the sole fact we still don't have some basic features in Teams such as Tagging users for Status Changes is an issue. I have taken a look at the Roadmap for Teams & I do not see this feature anywhere.

How many of us use Tagging to keep track of presence?

Many collaboration tools, such as WebEx Teams, display an icon for the people that have read a message on a Team chat (channel) or private messages.

It helps people know that your message has been read.

Hello Everyone,

May we please suggest an option to be able to view an organizational chart for a tenant or company as a whole, with a possible option to print and or export as a Visio or PDF file?

Thank you very much.

Dear Team, Thank you for this product. I've a challenge in my status, which is often changed to "Away" even in my presence, when am moved to other site it happens frequently. Hardly the status is changed to "Available" when I does it manually.Would like to hear the possibilities or any settings to be modified for this. Your response on this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

All the chats that I had added to my Favorites disappeared after I came back from vacation. Presumably, this is because chats are auto-hidden after an expiration time of some kind? I was able to find the chats by searching for the people.

My suggestion is to persist the chats indefinitely in the Favorites list by default. And let the user decide whether they want to Hide the chat or remove it from the Favorites list.

Customizable statuses (like Jabber)

Allow users to offer their presence of choice while keeping the Out of Office indicator persistent.
Users may have special projects / exceptions / reasons that require them to temporarily login and publish their status, while otherwise not in the office.
In Skype, a user can login and show available for a quick interval - without having to disable their Out of Office in order to extend that presence.
This dual context would be useful in Teams.

Be good to be able to see when people are online as opposed to just on teams
