FIX TEAMS Away Status
Teams will show me as AWAY even when I'm actively working on CPU. In the support forums, the individual working for Microsoft explained that teams reverts to "away" when the user is not active for more than 10 mins, HOWEVER, I'm seeing it revert even whilst continuously active on my CPU. I'm not the first person to bring this up, I know you've seen this forum (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/teams-away-setting-automatically-switching-on-when/950933a5-7dc3-4401-a164-23be32940986?page=3).
Please fix this, as it eliminates the value of using teams. Why would I use teams if you're telling my boss I'm away when I'm not? I could simply tell my boss that I'm uninstalling Teams and we need to find a better solution (ie. Slack, etc.). This isn't communist Russia where Microsoft plays watchdog over capital interests and employee productivity (and terrible at doing so might I add). Give us a break and fix Teams so it works as intended.

Teams is supposed to work like an office chat app, where a person should be shown away only if he/she has not interacted with the computer for some time.
Instead the auto-away in Teams is like any other common social chat app- if u are not in Teams, u r away.
This is really annoying as others often think that I am not available even when I am working on my computer -

Teams assumes if it's minimized then you must be away - very annoying.
