TL;DR:
Microsoft Teams users will soon be able to choose a Show As status for meetings they organise. Currently the default Show As value for all the meetings an organiser creates is Busy. Due late April to late June 2022.
Details:
As an organiser, while creating the meeting, you will be able to choose a Show As status for the meeting. When participants RSVP, their status during the meeting will automatically reflect the status the organiser set.
