Hi Newtron,
thanks for coming back with your results.
I have done some testing myself and this is my experience: when I don't work on Teams although Teams is running in the background and I work on my computer, the status will be changed to Away after 5/10 minutes automatically.A workaround that I've found, when in a call, is to minimize Teams (it gets displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen).
Alternatively, you can try and set a "duration" for a specific status (see attachment).
I hope this works for you.

- Hi DimitriR While I agree setting the duration is a excellent workaround, I still think that Teams should show if your in a meeting when you're actually in a meeting and not navigating inside of teams during that meeting. For the time being, I'll use the workaround. Thanks for that suggestion!
Newtron I agree with your comments and add that the Away status should not engage while in a meeting and especially when your status has been set to "Do Not Disturb" as was the case for me today! I hope that Microsoft will change this status default.
