    This is how Microsoft monitor and control your life. They will never allow you to have control of that.

    I need to be able to let people in my team know my actual status - which I control - not the inferred status which is often wrong. My meeting could have ended early, I might be available while in a meeting, I might be working in a different screen or system - all of these mean I need to show as available.

    I would like a toggle so I can choose whether to allow teams to make the assumption or not.

    The user should set the availability status manually. The fact that my computer shows me being “away” when I’m really working on other things is a huge problem !!!

    The user should set the availability status manually. Period! The fact that my computer shows me being “away” when I’m really working on other things is a huge problem.

    I work off of two separate computers: office computer for emails/meetings and my personal computer for more heavy duty operations like creating animations. Often times I am not interacting with my office computer and thus Teams sets my status to Away. This is irritating because I am present, just working on something else. Please allow us to disable automatic status updates!

    please could you make an option, so one can control when Teams reset your status. Now, it is done automatically and it is very very inconvenient.

    Yes!! Please disable that feature. Also please could you make an option, so one can control when Teams reset your status. Now, it is done automatically and it is very very inconvenient.

    Users need control over there status. The computer does not know what I am doing. I am available although teams says I am away.
