12 TopicsFeature Request: Custom Status Labels for Calendar Events (e.g., 'In a Training')
Hey Teams Community! 👋 I have a small but impactful feature idea and would love your votes and feedback. --- 🔴 The Problem Right now, every calendar block in Microsoft Teams shows the same status to colleagues: "In a Meeting." Whether you're in a 10-minute standup or a 3-hour mandatory training — it all looks identical. This creates ambiguity, leads to unnecessary interruptions, and doesn't reflect how modern workplaces actually function. --- 💡 The Feature Request Allow users to assign a custom status label to a calendar event when creating it — visible to colleagues who check availability — without exposing private event details. Something as simple as a dropdown when creating an event: ✅ In a Meeting (default) 🎓 In a Training 🎯 Focus Time 📋 In a Workshop The chosen label would appear: → In the chat status indicator → On the calendar availability hover card → When someone tries to @mention or call you --- ✅ Why This Matters - Reduces interruptions during high-focus or learning sessions - Helps colleagues make smarter decisions about whether to wait or escalate - Especially valuable for schools, hospitals, training teams, and L&D departments - Lightweight to implement — no privacy concerns since it doesn't reveal event titles --- 🗳️ If you've ever been interrupted during a training because someone thought you were just "in a meeting" — please upvote and share your experience below! Let's get this on the Teams roadmap. 🚀 Tags: Feature Request, Calendar, Status, Availability, Training, Teams, Microsoft Teams73Views0likes2CommentsLive captions while sharing the screen
I'm hard of hearing so I depend on the live captions in MS teams during meetings. When asked to share the screen I have to juggle between windows to see the captions. Is there a way to see live captions while sharing the screen without having to go to the MS teams window? If not, can this feature be added into MS Teams?Solved3.9KViews0likes2Comments[Feature Request] All Emoji for Reaction / Sentiment to a post
Right now, there are only 6 emoji (like, heart, laugh, surprise, sad, and angry) available for reaction or sentiment on another person's post or chat. It would be great if you could choose any emoji you wanted from the latest standard unicode emoji list.Solved5.4KViews2likes4CommentsIs Teams ever going to support switching between different orgs?
I know this question has probably been posed a thousand times, but is there anything on the Teams feature roadmap, that will allow the ability to use the native desktop client (Mac or Windows) to switch between Organizations, and just one main Org the rest as "Guest" (i.e. if the user has a full M365 license in more then one tenant)?1.3KViews1like1CommentPut real version number in lldpd mac daemon
We manage a few thousand macOS devices, and are rolling out Teams phone. As part of that, for e911 compliance, we have to roll out the lldpd daemon here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=103383 However, after install, running "/usr/local/sbin/lldpcli -v" just gives back "Teams" which isn't particularly useful to finding out the version of the daemon installed in case you all provide a new revision and we want to push that out to machines needing it. Could we please have a real version number provided in future releases? "Teams 1.0" or just "1.0", etc? Thanks!849Views0likes0CommentsIntegrate Outlook with Microsoft Teams
I'm already able to see my calendar from Teams and I'd love to do the same with my email, then I'd have a true integration of all my communication channels at work in one window. I'm sure others have requested this already and I'm adding my vote to this.8KViews1like2CommentsTeams notification emails scroll via Arrow Keys
Hello, Just wondering, is it possible to allow for emails that come from <noreply@email.teams.microsoft.com> to allow for scrolling via the arrow keys? Currently, this does not appear possible. I have noticed that emails that come from an app within Teams, Planner, <noreply@Planner.Office365.com>, allows for keyboard navigation and scrolling. Would it be possible to allow for Teams Notification emails to also have the same functionality for keyboard accessibility? Thanks, Tom918Views0likes0CommentsFeature Request: Student Chat monitoring system
Good Morning, It would be beneficial if Teachers would have a better way of monitoring chat's between students in the "Private Chat". There are things that we are responsible for during school times and on the system in order to assure safety such as Cyber Bullying, off-task behavior, etc..... that can contribute to a non-safe environment for students online.1.7KViews0likes3CommentsFeature Request: Make the current day in Teams calendar visibily stand out
The current day in the calendar needs to visibly stand out among the other days. Like change its background color or something. I joined a wrong meeting today because I wasn't paying enough attention to where I clicked. I see the day number is a little bolder. There needs to be more visible cues to what day in the calendar is today's date. At least in Outlook's calendar the column bar's background is darker and the text color is revered. Do something similar.Solved7.2KViews0likes3Comments
