Setting to adjust length of time before "away" status
I would like the option to select how long I want to be inactive before Teams auto changes from "available" to "away". In my organization, some computers can go unlocked but inactive all night and Teams will show them as "available". While on mine, I might be in excel or another program but on my computer, and Team will show me as "away" after just minutes.

Users should easily be able to set how long a computer needs to be inactive before Teams indicates to the rest of my company that I am away. Many times, I am right at my workstation, working on something and because Teams indicates that I am away, my colleagues assume that I am not available for a quick discussion. This is causing bottlenecks and work breakdowns for my company. Skype allowed users to set how long a user was away before the users status changed, why cant Teams do this as well?

Wait, really? Why this is not available?! Should I use this forum to give excuses on how I can use and why I want to use, and bag microsoft to implement one of the more basic, simples and stupid settings of all time?!!
I hate today. I'm out here. Going back to the 90's, see you all on ICQ.

I work with two separate computers and Teams is only on one of the computers. When I'm working on my second computer Teams shows Away after 5 minutes or the timing is relatively small.

This is absolutely a required feature if you ask me. It is totally unproductive if you have to open Teams back and forth just to stay on Available status

Very annoying when working from home and my teammates do not know I am available because the timer set my status to away.
