Notify when available feature in NEW Teams app
11/28 update: please upvote this issue here in the feedback portal: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/bd4374ec-88ff-ed11-a81c-000d3ae5b6f4
The "Notify when available" feature doesn't appear to be available yet in the NEW Teams application when the new app is supposed to have full feature parity at this point. It's a useful feature that I (and I know others) use often. Is this feature going to be developed/released for the NEW Teams or is this not going to be available?
Classic teams / still in Teams via browser

- EGADS! What were you thinking, MS?! It prevents you and others from interrupting you when you're leading an online meeting, on the phone or just busy. If my issue isn't urgent, I don't want to disturb my teammates. It's one of the best features in Teams. Please bring it back. I like to be courteous and respect my teammates' and leaders' time.
- Speaking of interruptions, isn't it nice how Microsoft drops marketing pop-ups and other interrupters in all the wrong places?
kellydcco I agree! The new Teams pops up an annoying message every time you try to use the classic version coercing you to use the new one. Just signing in here was a series of hoops not worth dealing with, but I am so annoyed about losing this feature, I made the effort and took the ridiculous amount of time to agree with you.
Please add this functionality to New Teams
- A must have function in a modern Community Tool. Please add this again.
- How is it that the "new" version of Teams is worse in every possible way? This change is infuriating.
- As other posters have said this is a big compromise, especially in a large organisation working to a hybrid model. Why move backward in a newer version? I've switched back to old teams, but my company is discontinuing older version from March, at which point I lose the option again. Currently I use on a daily basis for multiple colleagues to connect ad hoc outside formal meetings or for urgent tasks. PLEASE ADD BACK!!!!!!!
kellydcco Totally agree that the "Notify when available" is a critical feature within a large organisations where people are working in different locations (or remotely). I had to move to the New Teams as my headset stopped working with the old version and only works with New Teams but it feels like a big compromise to lose this capability.
- I absolutely need this option to be in the NEW Teams. I'm reverting to the “old“ Teams until this gets added back.
- Microsoft please add this funcionality!
Switched back to Classic Teams just to have this feature!
Much needed feature.- even I switched back to old teams coz of this.
- Please add back the "Notify when available" option!
- Why was this feature removed ?
- I think it was never added since the reprogrammed the teams.... I guess they need to implement it in the new version aswell.
