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.).

    I miss the ability to tag team members for change in status. to be notified when they are available

    this is an essential Skype for Business feature that is unfortunately not available in Teams

  • Monique Van Der Haar commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    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!

    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.

  • Shannon Koh commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    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.
