Why is my "Notify when available" missing when I click on a user in Teams?

This is what is missing from a user we support.

Hello WilliamHicks6,

The Notify when available feature is not available in the new Teams. Currently, you will need to select a user’s avatar or profile photo anywhere in new Teams to quickly get an overview of their online status, next available calendar slot in Outlook, work hours, local time, or work location either remote or in office.

    I turned off New Teams and reverted back to Teams Classic where the feature "Notify when available" is still offered.

    This feature along with the "Contacts" list should be added.

    I use "Contacts" to add my individual teams members so I can quickly send a individual message or if I forget someone's name.

    Wow. Not a good "What's New" item in my book. I used notify when available all the time. I don't have the luxury to constantly hover over someone's avatar to see availability. I'm busy. One of the awesome things about old Teams, to me, was this. Set it and forget it because I could count on Teams to notify me and I could grab the person before they got busy again.

    Hi Trust_A

    Thanks for the information shared about the non-availability of this feature in New Teams. Yet another deprecation of required feature and addition of inconvenience in the path of "Upgrade" / "New version". This feature is pretty much available in web version of team in Settings.
