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.

    Why has this feature not been brought back yet?

    Absolutely stupid decision to remove this.

    Still, the option is not available!

    and most of our employees are asking about it!

    Is it a BUG in the Teams?

    Does anyone have a solution for it?

    Thanks,

    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.
