Colorblind Setting
Allow users to enable a colorblind feature that makes presence indicators change to shapes (X, checkmark, -) for "Do not disturb", "Available", and "In a a call". A significant portion of the population cannot distinguish between the green and red dots currently being used to represent presence in the application.

Shapes or allowing us to define our own colors for these would be great. I cannot tell the different between red, green and grey.

It would be helpful to be able to change the color palette as red/green can be very difficult to distinguish for people with color blindness. The DND option is better as it shows a symbol instead of only a color.

In RC, AVAILABLE is associated with GREEN and DND/otherwise is RED. The ICON's with a colored circle are very small and RED/GREEN is not color blind friendly. You can hover over and green will show "Available", but this is klunky. Is there any way to change to better icon's like a light-green check symbol for AVAILABLE, red 'X' for DND, and something else for OFFLINE like is currently done with Teams? Another example is OFFLINE where it's a symbol with a left arrow, very intuitive.

I personally would be interested in seeing something like this integrated into the app being colour blind myself.
