Are you getting started with Microsoft Teams? Use these steps to change the status settings according to your availability.

  • The only option that I can think of right off hand is to have an application running on the desktop that sets the users availability. Since Communicator changes the presence state when the system is idle or locked, that app will need to sense the change in the presence state and decide if it wants to override that.
  • And it's all to do with the connection between your Outlook Calendar and Microsoft Lync. It seems that Lync is intimately linked with Outlook/Exchange Server, and if you have an appointment scheduled in your Outlook Calendar, Lync will pick that up and change your status to Busy or Busy — in a meeting for that time.

On Windows 10, the Microsoft Teams app allows you to set a specific status to let other people know your availability when using the service, whether you work from home or office.

When using the Teams app on Windows 10, you can have two types of status, including a little badge that appears on your profile icon to make sure that your colleagues know that you're 'away' or 'busy.' And you can set a custom status message that will appear to anyone who sends you a direct message or mentions you in a team.

Also, the app includes an option to follow people's availability status to receive a notification when a specific person is available or not.

In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the steps to change the status settings on the Microsoft Teams app, including setting a custom status message and following someone to know when they're online or offline.
