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,

    I agree with this being a major deficiency in the 'New Teams'. I can't understand why this would be removed intentionally.

    I have had to return back to 'old teams'.

    I would greatly appreciate it being returned to the new teams so I can begin using it.

    Hello WilliamHicks6,

    Please try this option:

    Select your profile picture in the top right of Teams. Next, select Settings button Settings > Activity buttonNotifications to open notification settings.

    Select the Edit button to the right of People to open the manage status notifications screen.

    In the manage status notifications screen, type the name of the person that you want to be notified about in the Add people search box. Select their name when it appears.

    Also waiting for this. In the New Teams > Settings > Notifications and activity, there are no options to be notified if someone becomes available. Legacy Teams and Teams in a browser do have this.
