Notify when available feature in NEW Teams app

11/28 update: please upvote this issue here in the feedback portal: Notify when available not in new teams? · Community (microsoft.com)

 

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

Please add back the "Notify when available" option!

This is the most important one for me too, please add back "Notify when available" option!
Agree that we need this feature back. It's heavily used in our org so will cause us a lot of noise if it's not available.

@kellydcco 

I have actually changed back to the original teams app, just to make sure I have this feature. Its an absolute must have!

Totally agree. We need this option "notify when available! I use it every day!
@kellydcco 

I just switched back to the old version because it doesn't have yet the feature "notify when available" that I found very useful.
Please add this to 2.0 asap!
MS would have metrics on how much this feature is used, so it's absurd that it's not included in the New Teams experience.
Absolutely needed !! Thanks



Please add this feature in new teams as it is really needed for most of us to reach out to someone once he is back online immediately, instead of messaging them when they are away. 
Thanks

Much needed! Please add

@kellydcco I used this every day multiple times.  Please add it back!!

100% Agree. Notify when available was a simple and effective way to catch other team members in different time zones. An essential function that was used extensively. Please bring it back.
Absolutely a must-have. Please add it.
Yeah, this was a significant degradation to encounter today. True buzzkill.
As others have noted, this is a very useful feature - near daily for me. When you need to use it, you need it. It does mean a temp table of notifications needs to be maintained, which MS probably doesn't care to write the code to maintain.
Agree with Original poster !!! please bring back this feature !!!
