    I want Teams to say 'Appear Away' at 4:30PM and to say 'Available' at 8:30AM every work day(Mon-Fri). Of course work times should be adjustable.

    Teams automatically deletes my status message overnight. Why doesn't it also automatically reset the status also

    My company went from Hangouts (which had this feature) to Teams. I live on the east coast, but work west coast hours and I have people messaging me and expecting an answer immediately.

    I'd like to see either appear away or out of office after office hours and reset at the beginning of office hours. Can base it on the calendar setup

    This feature is needed. Perhaps something other than "Appear Away" like "Outside Work Hours" to indicate when TEAM members are in and out of the office during a normal work day.

    Automatically update status to "Appear Away" after office hours and reset status at the beginning of office hours on the mobile teams app also..

    This is needed, the same as Outlook under calendar "Work hours". If I quit Teams or shut my computer down at the end of the day I am still showing as available to people in Teams and they keep messaging me, then I come in the next day and have a ton of missed messages from people asking if I'm available why am I not responding.

    Yes please! This would greatly help people know when I’m working or let me know when others are not.
