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.

The "Away" indicator needs the ability to adjust the time before it goes idle. I can be at my desk, reading papers and it switches my status. Having to look up every 5 minutes is not productive.

You should be able to set the amount of time before you auto flip to "Away" as in after 10 mins, 20mins, 60 mins...whatever. Like with Skype you can change it to up to 90 mins.

Having the "Appear Away" made me miss a very important call the other day.
The person didn't call me as they didn't think I was in the office. -

I want to be able to say that I'm available for a certain period of time. Users can be inactive on the computer but still at their desks!

I would also like to know if you can edit when the status changes from available to away or are we limited to just 10 minutes?

As other projects can consume time without specifically using my computer, I am adding my request for Teams to allow (as Skype for Business did) adjusting the time before status shows as away.

Would love to be able to adjust the idle time from 5-10 minutes to longer. I have to read research a lot for work and my computer will show away when I am not. I don't want to keep clicking every 10 minutes just so my remote coworkers know I am available.

Please allow to set duration before status changes to away as with every other predecessor of Teams. "Deprecating" the feature makes absolutely no sense. I find it invasive to automatically show away and like others suggested, I don't want anyone to think they can't reach me.

I'd love to be able to set this myself, as with Skype

30 min before going into idle will be great

It's invasive and unproductive to be unable to set the duration of idle time before the status goes to "away." I'm on the phone having a a conversation, reading literature, or literally anything else. I'm in a support role and need my colleagues to feel like I'm here and they can contact me, even if I haven't touched my keyboard for 10+ minutes. Please allow users to adjust their idle time.

Add the ability to configure this, please.

Just because I don't move my mouse and work on my keyboard does NOT mean I am away. I am sitting right here working on paperwork, talking with a team member in my office, or working on another machine.

Please add availability to change time duration before away appears. Being idle on technology and being away from the devise are different things!

Hi,
As contrary to @Suzie, I would like to have ability to decrease the time it takes to show that I'm away: don't feel comfortable when colleagues believe that I'm available and are trying to reach me, while actually I'm away and can't respond. Anyway, agree with Suzie that this parameter should be adjustable (and, as a programmer, believe that it also could)... -

Please add the ability to increase the "away" duration.
