Notify when available feature in NEW Teams app

I'm counting the days until it's finally gone and there's no way to use the old Teams anymore. Thank you Microsoft for not bringing back this horrible stalking tool.
I think everyone who wants it back should take a deep breath and try to understand that the 90s are over. I think if you have to stalk your coworkers, you are part of the problem of modern work avoidance and definitely not part of the solution to a modern workplace.
Hopefully it really won't come back or if it does only as weak as read receipts for emails in Outlook.

- I do not agree with you at all. This has nothing to do with stalking. I do not know which world you're coming from but everywhere in many SoMe/Collaboration tools it is possible to see online status so what is different here? Actually it makes the collaboration even better to know when people are online and available.
Are you one of them not willing to collaborate then you can disable the feature and live on your own planet.
Happy Easter.- this is a terrible stalking tool. as long as you work in a small company it can be helpful under certain circumstances, but if you are contacted or called directly by 40 different people as soon as you have the status available, the fun simply stops.
If I would get a notification as soon as someone wants to monitor my status and I can prevent that, I'm in.
In the last iteration it wasn't like that and therefore terrible. I am convinced that good modern collaboration also requires good communication. Nobody dies if you simply write a message to the person you want to get in touch with saying "please contact me about topic xy as soon as you have time" - it can be that simple and collaboration at eye level is the result.
most people here just seem to want to monitor whether someone is working or not, which is a huge problem and stalking and also a very sensitive legal issue in terms of employee monitoring.- "If I would get a notification as soon as someone wants to monitor my status and I can prevent that, I'm in."
This is a fair point, I'd be happy with this!
jadermike20I think you should take off the tin foil hat.
- I think you should follow the community rules and not get personal, maybe?
This has been posted before and no-one else agreed then either. It's either a case of bad company culture or being caught out. Either way it's not the tool that's at fault. Should we not have the Internet at all because some people can't play nice? Same concept.
