Show status duration
Skype showing the status duration in a chat was very useful ("away for X minutes").
this allows you to know if your colleague is off for a coffee or in a 4 days vacation.
This feature is very much missing when using teams.

Teams is not able to properly ascertain if I am "available" or "away".
Please: Let users configure whether they want the status to be set to away as soon as they are not typing for a few minutes.

It would be very helpful to see other users Away duration time on Teams like it does on Skype for business. That feature is missing from Teams and is very useful to know if someone has just stepped away or maybe at lunch.

This is much needed feature and creates lots of confusion in an organization. Lets make it available ASP. Thanks.

If in a meeting, I would like for the status to show an expected time for when someone will be available EX: Busy until 2:30 -- as that's the duration of the calendar meeting

I would like to see teams not automatically show away when busy doing other things when Teams is still running. Also, I use Zoom software for classes or meeting while MS Team often showed away. Teams doesn't allow me to configure duration or time as well. What is the solution?

I would like to see Teams allow an option to allow more minutes before causing it to show away. Many times when doing other tasks (especially on a remote server) it will show away while I am working on the remote server.

I would like to see teams not automatically show away when busy doing other things when Teams is still running. I would also like to see Teams as an App in Edge and straight up Teams via web share status properly. I use both often because Teams doesn't allow me to configure multiple profiles in one instance of the app. That way Teams can show on the taskbar separately from Edge.

It's really annoying when you're boss keeps asking you why you're not at your desk when, in reality, the 'away' that's showing just means i haven't been on Teams in 5 minutes. Fix this please....

Please make sure that being logged in to mobile device doesn't conflict with away. I believe currently you are never away when you have teams open on your mobile.

Need to implement fixed durations for statuses. I may be idle watching a video/training, etc. and Teams will mark me as "away" which is simply not the case. We should be able to set the available status for a set duration just as we can set the OOO for a set duration through Outlook.

Teams give a false message when it marks you away if you are doing other duties. This needs to change.

Please let us set our status to fixed durations, and change the duration before automatically going away. This is what we need for a work usage of Teams.

I would like to be able to set if I am available even if I have been idle for more than 10 minutes.

Like nearly all features of other chat apps, the "Keep me busy for 30 minutes or 4 hours" is missing. Supposedly was added according to https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/38482774-allow-users-to-customize-away-presence-timeout?tracking_code=956e0a5b238f662026c580106919e1be but I think MS misunderstood what people were requesting. The feature they talk about does not work and I still get set to "Away" even when I specify a time on the status. I am literally sitting right next to my main laptop working on my 2nd laptop that doesnt have Teams on it.

Would be very helpful to see durations as we could in Skype. Not about tracking someone but understanding schedules.

Many people have jobs that don't keep them at their computer all the time. I am doing processes and other activities away from my computer. I miss being able to show as available even when I was not on my computer, because I am. Just because I have not typed anything or navigated anywhere does not mean I am not available to meet with someone if needed. Please update the program to allow me to set how long I would like the available status to show. This is especially true on my mobile app. I may not be in teams, but I am on the phone in another way. Stop telling people I am not available.

Please update the Teams functionality to be able to change when status changes to away.
