Feature 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 Teams
Picture & picture using two camera sources concurrently
Teams does not support picture & picture from two camera sources concurrently at present. Why not? As a trainer who uses Teams, I would love to be able to use our Surface Hub 2S to present to the room yet attach a second camera via tethered USB to show my physical interactions using my hands with the equipment I am training my attendees about. (i.e. top-down camera of hands) Not everyone is physically present plus recording the sessions to be available in Stream on our training Sharepoint. I can use other software such as OBS with two sources and then capture in Teams but I shouldn't have to. Surely this is a feature for those who use teams in a hybrid classroom environment are crying out for.Is 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)?Put 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!
Teams 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, Tom
Feature 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.
