How do I create notifications when someone's status changes in New Teams?

In the old teams I could click more options and select notify when available as shown below, but that isn't available in New Teams.

    Hi @Andy Wolf

    Currently, this feature has not been launched in New Teams. We recommend that you use this feature in Teams classic version or web client.

    To get this feature more quickly, you can send a feedback directly to Microsoft Feedback to add it in future updates.

    Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. With requirements like this increase, the problem may well be released in the future.

    Thanks for your understanding and support.

    This option "Notify when available" is necessary for all of us. I'm not sure why it was removed from the new MS Teams.

    Function seems to be added as of today 6/4/2024. I'm on Microsoft Teams version 24102.2223.2870.9480.

    Out of the blue, I started getting notifications that I had previously set up but they'd disappear quickly so I didn't realize what it was at first

    The feature is not available, unfortunately. I believe they will bring it back soon again :)
