Workarounds won’t bring the satisfaction that will encourage the use of the platform. Whereas all the disadvantages listed in this thread for not being able to manually set the time for your status to change to “Away” are very real and affect real time users in such a way that this issue is discussed on many forums. It seems intriguing to me, because quite frankly, I imagine that the worst that could happen by introducing the actual functionality everybody wants would be that a colleague could send a message or a chat to someone who appears as present, but can’t quite answer at that time, and, as is with a text message or a phone call, that colleague would simply try again later. Instead, with the present lack of functionality and particularly in these special circumstances where many of us are working from home, people in the organization could feel as though the person is simply not working and doing other stuff around the house if he/she is constantly seen as “Away”.

It doesn’t mean I can’t scoop over to my PC screen if I get a notification and answer a call or answer someone sending me a message through the chat. I often do that for many minutes without touching my computer. I take a look at printed plans, norm textbooks and other physical literature all the time, it is much more practical than doing it on the computer. If the users feel that there is a clear the lack of the functionality, you should take it into consideration instead of suggesting workarounds. It is intriguing to see you guys suggest workarounds to the very way you intend your app to be used. I know these aren’t perfect solutions, but hopefully they help you find a way to repurpose Teams functionality for how it works best for your business! Let me know if you have any other questions! This could say something like, “Working on XYZ task away from my computer” so that people know you’re working and where you are at. Users will see this when they view your contact card and you can even have it selected to show up when they message you. Second, consider setting a custom status message in Teams.
This can keep your presence as “available” when you’re logged in and also has the added benefit of making sure you’re accessible when you’re not on your computer. If your job takes you away from your computer, then you’re not able to respond to chats or calls at that moment, so your presence reflects that by not being “available.” This is the purpose of Teams, but it sounds like your organization is viewing it a bit differently, so here are some workarounds I have for you. The purpose of the presence status is not to tell people “you’re working,” it’s to let people know you’d be able to take and respond to communications. If you’re actively using Teams, in a call or meeting, your presence is not going to change to “Away.” You don’t have to wiggle your mouse.
