Hiya,
In MS Teams, is there a way for users to change the default status "Busy/Available etc". I'm keen to use it in an online class environment for things "working independently", "want some help" etc. Any ideas? Even adding an emoji to user would be cool like Duolingo

Hi Geoff,
My name is Didi. I'm happy to help you today.
In Teams, we can set a status message and add an emoji to it. The status message will then be visible in chat and channels when people message or @mention us until the time specified.
