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.

Thanks,

    Hmm, would make sense as a plausible reason, however, if I can still hover over a person's avatar and see their availability, then I'm still able to "spy" on them.

    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.

    This was a very nice feature that you removed. Now I have to send a message that interrupts the person. Dumb move by MS.
