How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

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.).

    Microsoft employee here. Being forced to abandon Skype in favor of Teams. Missing this feature very much!

    Why is this very useful feature still not implemented? Please add this feature as soon as possible.

    At the risk of yet adding another +1, this is something that is widely used in my organization, and is an absolute must for enough parity to switch to Teams.

    Please implement this feature asap; it is very much needed, and the only reason that I still use Skype.

    as a manager I feel blind now without this feature after having had it for so long

    Accurate status would be very helpful. Not sure what better alternative there could be, but not knowing whether a colleague is about to respond can be rather important. If we see their status turn green, we know they're likely about to reply. If it shows as away or offline, chances are we aren't going to spend as much time waiting.

    This is a highly valuable feature of Skype for Business that my group leverages regularly and is desired in Teams. Hope it arrives sooner than later. This will facilitate my group being able to cease use of Skype for Business and fully adopt/migrate to Teams.
