Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Set the preferred availability and activity status for a user. If the preferred presence of a user is set, the user's presence is the preferred presence.

Preferred presence takes effect only when there is at least one presence session of the user. Otherwise, the user's presence stays as Offline.

A presence session can be created as a result of a successful setPresence operation, or if the user is signed in on a Teams client.
