Microsoft Teams status indicators lack sufficient color differentiation, limiting quick visual status assessment.

Microsoft Teams only uses two colors for user status (probably green for Available and red for Busy/Do Not Disturb), whereas users want more color variations to quickly distinguish different presence states without reading text labels.
