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,

    Will this feature be coming back - its very useful to receive a notification rather than having to constantly check?

    It was a very useful feature. I am sad that it is removed. It helps me in remembering for every 5 mins to see whether someone is free. Checking calendars are helpful only if there are any planned meetings.

    Thank goodness: The feature still exists in the web browser version of Teams, at least as of the time of this posting. Funny! But I'll take it.

    For web Teams, if you choose/login Classic version, there is still function "Notify when available" but if you switch to New Teams, there is no such function.
