I’ll tell you something I hope Microsoft won’t read: if you look at Teams on your phone, it’ll still show you as “available” for several hours even if you aren’t anywhere near your laptop or open Teams again. I’ve been using this great feature (thanks Silicon Valley!) to its fullest since WFH began.
