It would be amazing if we could easily set in-meeting status requests. For example: On Hold, Stepped Away, Ignoring You, etc.

Often times I join a meeting a few minutes early and then step away to use the restroom or grab a drink and come back to everyone asking if I can hear them. Being able to set a status without having to customize a profile pic and set it as my picture would be awesome.
