    This has been a great add-on for Skype so that people around me can see if I am on a call or not. The small indicators on headsets are normally only visible from one direction. Please update Teams to allow the ability to share the status with Blynclight.

    C'mon Microsoft - being able to see if someone if free or busy is critical to reaching out to the right person at the right time.

    No question this is VERY important. I work with "Microsoft's Largest Reseller" and we are ramping up to migrate customers from SharePoint and Skype (for Business) to MSFT Teams. This will be a HUGE feature for companies in 'transformation' from email, messaging and intranet sites to "teaming" paradigms. I would use this feature for MSFT Teams immediately, but #Slack is a large and growing user base too.

    yes - this is definitely required! An invaluable piece of gear used in open plan offices.

    I vote yes for my Blync and Nameplate to work with Teams as I have transitioned completely to Teams

    Lack of support for access to user presence will delay transition from Skype for Business client to Teams client as primary messaging platform. We rely on integration for external visual indicators (Blynclight, busylight, etc.) for agents, support personnel.

    The lack of this feature means I would be forced to look for a alternative messaging service.
