Microsoft says that this feature is basically a replacement for physical workplace check-in peripherals, it reduces the need to manually update your status

Considering how much I have to manually fix my regular teams status, I have doubts as to how effective this will be.

    It would be very useful me to know if a colleague is in the office or not without the need to message them and wait for answer.

    But yes, I have to fix my status roughly once per day, so I have doubt this feature will work properly.

    But if you know they're in the office, aren't you then going to message them and wait for an answer?
