    Please fix the issue with auto marking a user’s status as away after a few minutes. It’s insane to expect users to constantly click their mouse or keyboard in order for the status to show as available.

    Many people have job tasks that are not done on a computer but does not mean they are not at their desk and available for communication.

    It’s mind blowing that MS still doesn’t have this capability when other platforms such as Skype had that capability built in from the start.

    My boss is presenting in a Webex right now, meeting is on his calendar... he shows as available in Teams, and presenting in Jabber. How are y'all getting it to sync?

    Let us choose our length of time to be flagged as away or at least increase your default. Also, I know when I'm busy and not busy - don't decide for me.

    Please amend - I use my calendar constantly for reminders, as I am a PA, so it keeps showing my status as busy and I spend all day keep changing it back or trying to move all my reminders around.

    The user should be able to override the status and set how long to wait before marking them away like you can in Skype. I also use my calendar to remind me of tasks and would like MS Teams to show that I am available.

    When I work in a different application, it shows me as away after 10 minutes. I need to be available for work. Please add a way to change the amount of time before it shows away. Thank-you.

    I am assistant, and need to be seen as available at all times while i am working. The fact that i cannot work on a powerpoint deck without having to click on the Teams app to keep me active, is not a smart feature. This is a feature that needs to be fixed.

    The whole world is working from home now. The end user needs to be able to control their visibility. This is an issue that would have been expected 10 years ago, maybe, but is absolutely inconceivable in 2021. When is this going to be fixed?

    This functionality should be a given. Microsoft should've never designed Microsoft Teams to set an away message automatically after x mins. The user should always be able to override the status and set how long to wait before marking them as away like you can in Skype.

    It's been almost 3 years of people request this change Microsoft! Please update it already, it's really annoying!!
