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!

This is essential capability to catch people whose calendars are scheduled 2 weeks in advance. Email as a comms tool is snail mail. I use it to catch someone for a quick 5 minute catch up or context setup that otherwise without, stalls momentum on workflow.

Counterpoint - if you add this feature, please have a method for blocking people from tagging you for status changes. We run into a lot of stalking like messages the moment we log in for the day - very disruptive.

Status updates is a feature many of our company members really loved from Skype and miss in Teams. Really hoping this item comes back.

This feature was very important to me when using Skype. Please consider adding a similar feature to Teams.

Super amazed this feature wasn't included as a basic need when deciding what "parity" was between S4B & Teams!

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.
