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,

    Thanks, I've gone back to the "classic" version and will stay on that as long as possible.

    I noticed when Teams meetings are rescheduled the change doesn't update in invitees calendars while I was on the new version. Known bug?

    How were you able to go back to the old version?

    So we have to keep actively looking to see when the user is available. In other words, there is no longer a "notify when available" feature. It was removed and that's that.

    It seems many users are questioning why this feature is missing, at least 210 same questions on this site alone (and those are just the vocal users.) This is a necessary, time-saving, quality of life feature which needs to be brought back. An overview of their online status, next available calendar slot in Outlook, work hours, local time, or work location does not replace this functionality and defaulting to those mail options really nullifies the need for teams. No one wants to schedule a meeting with someone for a 2-minute call, nor do they want to wait a week+ for an email response to a single question, but they cannot sit for 8 hours waiting for the person to be available either. Sure people may not use it all the time, but Notify When Available still has it's uses. When it is needed, it's needed!
