The chat option is convenient if you've recently had a one-on-one chat with the person that you want to get notifications about.

1. Choose Chat on the left side of the app.
2. In your chat list, choose a one-on-one chat that includes the person that you want to be notified about.
3. Select Microsoft Teams more options icon and then choose Notify when available. https://support.content.office.net/en-us/media/5eddb7f0-cb90-45aa-8ea8-ba078f78168f.png

Option 2: Create a status change notification in settings

The settings option allows you to search for someone in your organization and then add them directly to your notifications list.

1. Select your profile picture in the top right of Teams. Next, select Settings button Settings > Activity buttonNotifications to open notification settings.
2. Select the Edit button to the right of People to open the manage status notifications screen. https://support.content.office.net/en-us/media/6c31312f-f17f-4bf4-aca0-fbf29749756b.png

Thanks, Dainelle for your response. Those options are not available in the new teams version.

Hello Yupabs, thanks for coming into forums. I'm Myk, an Independent Advisor and I'll be more than happy to help you.

Upon doing a lot of digging, I found that the feature status change notification has been removed in the New Teams. A lot of users, including me uses the same feature, as it's very helpful in tracking users activity.
