    Definitely need to be able to alter idle time and auto sync. This option should have been carried over from lync.

    Please fix the issue to where the user can set their status & idle time. I work remotely & my boss needs to see that I am available.

    Please allow users to set their away and available time frames. Current is too short!!!!!!

    Presedence information is useless, if end user can't self say if he is available, or not.

    Please fix this bug! It's quite irritating. I work from home and don't want my bosses thinking that I am not at my desk working.

    Please let the end user choose their own status and not be overridden by our calendars and if we are away.

    I also noticed you can set up notifications for when people's status changes - I think this is awful as it can be unhealthy for micro managers presuming you aren't working.

    Teams marks me as busy even when the event in Outlook says "Show as: Free."

    If I've marked myself as free, why would teams mark me as busy?

  • Louis commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please add this. Switching to away on mobile app after a couple minutes is frustrating and not helpful in the least. Please allow to set the time duration instead of going away after 3 minutes. E

    Please let users update status. Skype used to allow this feature and Teams seems to be a step backwards in terms of usability

    Please include a setting to disable Teams status synchronization with Outlook calendar since not all the calendar entries are meetings!!!
    For example, I use my Outlook calendar also to remember me about recurring tasks or issues that expire in a certain date, but they hasn't to be considered meetings that make me busy or unavailable...

    Please let end users update status! If I get a client call my computer shows me unavailable after 3 minutes. My boss thinks I am not working when I am! This happens even if the app on my phone is open.

    I agree with this. It should be possible to over ride the status updates persisted by calendar entries.

    Microsoft need an option for this in settings because not all calendar entries are meetings!

  • Michael Sauerbrey commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    First Skype, then Teams - and no way to have them accept the status I manually set.
    It's so persistent & annyoing one might come to think that this is intentional.
