How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Out of office pop up showing up constantly for all users

Hi,

We at work are in a group chat and when someone is out of office, the little grey bar ontop of the chat box keeps showing up with the info that the person is out of office and may not respond.

You can close it but every time you re-open the chat tab it pops back up.

This happens for all users in chat (about 20 participants).

Can we disable this?

Thanks

    We really need this fixed. In a big organization like ours it's a constant annoyance. Let a person either disable it or ACK it once and be done for the day.

    Yes, please remove this out of office pop up. We have someone who will be away for 6 months. Will it pop up every day for that time? How annoying.

    It would be great if you could disable this feature in settings, or just look at someone's status to see that they are OOO.

    Definitely wish you could disable this or make it so it’s a one time notification per status change

  • William Woodbury commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes why is this not just another status on the user themselves like away, in a meeting etc? Why do we need a large and persistent popup for it?

  • LKBurns6 commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes, for the love of God, please fix this! It makes one angry at the people who are OOO!

    Please allow us to only dismiss it once. This is very annoying to keep looking at.

    How many years do we have to wait for this function to get fixed by Microsoft????? Put your resources where there will be quick wins and knock off any of these low-hanging fruit!

  • Joel Baeza commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes please fix this, we will go back to WebEx teams, this has been an issue for years and initially it was said that the issue was in development. Click it once, shouldn't come back. Also, we should be able to turn it off explicitly, I do not need to see who is out of the office, if I do not want to. I have to click this so many times a day, its stupid and the solution from MS is nothing for years. Lets get going!

    PLEASE Microsoft. tiny fixes require few resources of your workforce. PLEASE just fix it

    please make it happen...we should only have to close out the OOO notification once.
