    Please add ability to manage within the GUI as well as via powershell and or CLI.

    Please disable this feature or give users ability to manage the time it takes to appear "away"

    Very annoying, I often put appointments in my calendar as a reminder to do tasks and block some time for doing the task. Consequently Teams then shows me as busy, which implies that people should not contact me. I want to show that I am available, but teams always sets to busy when there is an event in my calendar. Need to have the option to disable this functionality and allow me to set status manually.

    we should have control over when the Away kicks in., all other products give option after 30, 60 etc etc. Please give us our controls back.

    This is significantly impacting our departmental operations. Hopefully, you may add this fix to the top of your feature request list.

    Yes, please! It's hurting my ability to generate revenue, which lowers my bonus. Please hurry.

    Yes please, auto-syncing of availability makes me crazy!!! I want to get messages through although I am in a meeting. I am always in a meeting, but that does not mean I cannot answer

    ditto....Teams put me in Away status when I haven’t used my system for 5 minutes. This presents a problem because not all of my work is on my computer system but it appears that I am away from my desk. Allow users to manually change their status and have it stay that status
