Tag for status updates
Skype for Business supports tagging for status updates. It's a really buried feature, but one that is really helpful when trying to get in touch with someone. Would love to make this more easily available in Microsoft Teams to be better able to catch people as they become available (e.g. know when they come in in the morning, when they finish their current meeting, etc.).

I’m excited to announce that this feature is in internal testing, and should be coming soon! Thanks!

Will there be an option to disable it? This raises some privacy concerns from a regulatory perspective.

Teams should include all the best features of S4B and then add NEW features that were (sorely) missing in S4B.

THANK GOD ITS IN TESTING. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS WILL BE A WIN FOR TEAMS. I no longer have to have both skype and teams open at the same time.

I really like this feature in S4B. Where can I find the feature in Teams while we wait for the more easily available feature?
Thanks, Eefje -

Happy to hear it's coming soon. Part of my pitch to my coworkers for switching to Teams is that it does, at a minimum, everything our current Jabber can do, so this is a welcome change.

Super important feature. I use this many times per day and not having it will be a constraint when moving form Sfb to Teams. Glad it's in testing... let us know when it's on the roadmap please.

As per other comments - this feature allows me to catch someone when they free up from a meeting. This is an essential feature for geographically distributed teams.

Thank you for working on that functionality. I'm in a support role and use this function in Skype DAILY as does most of my team.

I currently have massive in-fighting within IT over if we push users to teams vs skype and its just this kind of stuff that kills momentum. Feature parity needs to be a priority.

This is also insane that it isn't available. It is absolutely *essential*. I use this feature probably a few times a month in Skype, or before that, in Communicator. Now they're forcing everyone in my company onto Teams. I'm really annoyed that now if someone is in a meeting or offline and I want to catch them once they come back, I have to remember to manually check their status periodically? That is... kind of terrible and distracting.

This feature is incredibly helpful for interacting with team members between scheduled meetings.

Cant believe this feature is not available, surely the feature came from PBX hardware and found its way to Lync/Skype. Used so much in SFB - need to know when people are available to collaborate.
