status
There should be more status options similar to other programs.
Examples:
- Status change timeframe - (available to away after 10min,15min,30min,1hr)
- Allow no change in status from computer activity/inactivity
- Hide status aside from available or offline or away
Feel free to add more.

Microsoft bought skype for 8.5 BILLION, but still could not copy a simple functionality to extend the status timer and they are struggling to implement an update. What a shame!

I agree with an Anonymous poster below. I would like to set my own status like we did in Jabber. Its not very clear to management or anyone else that I'm on lunch for an hour when my status reflects "Be Right Back".

I would like the ability to set my own status. Working from home I like to let others know when I'm at lunch because "Away" doesn't mean much - I could be refilling my water or letting the dogs outside/inside, or many other quick things (which "Be Right Back" is good for but it's the same color so people just assume "Away"). Having a different color and a custom message could be very helpful for others to see I'm "At Lunch" or "Back in 30 minutes" or something like that. It needs to be a different color so people don't see orange and assume "Away".

The status I set manually must stay until I change it, now it goes on "away" when I'm reading on the computer or listening in a meeting

They added a duration tab but it doesnt work. It still changes to away after 1 min, so frustrating!

Supposedly this was fixed, according to this thread. But it still does not work and I get set away after about 5-10 minutes of idle on my laptop that is running Teams.

I would also add, to have status where someone is about to start a meeting.
So let's say a different status if someone is about to start a meeting in 5 min. -

can we please just get customizable status just like slack?
Different companies have different requirements and it would be SO helpful to get a "homeoffice" status. -

Also, when status is on "automatic mode", fix the "busy" status for meetings that were canceled or that the client is not actually participating.

Should be able to "lock" status until "Reset status" is selected, for any status option.

It would be nice to customize a status and save it for everyday use (alongside Available, Busy, DND, etc.

It would be great for Status to have more options: default choices in the pick list, like 10min, 15min, 30min, etc., but also allow me to enter my own custom time period. This is especially critical now while working from home, when I am doing analysis or working ion another program it sets me to away....Also add a auto "presenting" when sharing your screen.

Skype was taken away from us, now we are obliged to use teams...
The behavior and settings options in skype were exemplary. -

Please allow "away status" time frame to be set by user rather than automatically set by Teams app. Its absurd when I'm on a conference call using another app, and teams sets my status to "away" because I've been talking for more than the allotted time for Teams status threshold, even though I'm still available. Teams status settings needs to allow for override of the default "away" time limit.

Should also provide status indicators to Microsoft Outlook when drafting or reading emails. This was a function that Jabber provided but Microsoft Teams does not. Teams does sync up with our Outlook calendars appropriately, so we are able to see colleagues' status in Teams, but not the other way around.

I completely agree with everyone else. It is essential that users are able to control when the status setting times out and switches the status automatically.
