Hello @murphy

Thanks for reaching out!

Get presence Graph API doesn't support Application Permissions yet. Hence, it is not possible to achieve this using Graph API currently.

Since this feature/functionality is presently not available for Application Permissions with Microsoft Graph API, you can upvote an existing feature request idea, so that it can get more upvotes. This feature request portal is monitored by Microsoft team, and they make the enhancements to Microsoft Graph APIs based on the number of upvotes/API in demand. I will also upvote for you.

Hi @murphy

You can call the presence API endpoint to get a user's presence in Teams.

1.Get the presence information for a specific user (requires Presence.Read.All delegated permission).

2.Get the presence information for multiple users.

Get User Presence API with Application Permission now available in Graph v1.0. I verified it.

See this comment too from December 21, 2023. The Graph API change log is not yet updated.

therefore, following Api should work now with application permission.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/6e7b768e-07e2-4810-8459-485f84f8f204/presence

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/communications/presences/6e7b768e-07e2-4810-8459-485f84f8f204

Yes, you can retrieve information about a user's presence in Microsoft Teams using Microsoft Graph API. The presence information is available through the beta version of the API.

Here's an example of how you can make a Microsoft Graph API call to get a user's presence:

http

Copy code

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/presence

This API call retrieves the presence information for the authenticated user. You can replace me with the user's ID if you want to get the presence information for a specific user.

Note: Using beta endpoints means the API is not yet finalized and may be subject to change. Ensure you check the Microsoft Graph API documentation for any updates or changes.

Additionally, make sure your application has the necessary permissions to access presence information. You might need thePresence.Read`or `Presence.Read.All delegated permission.

Always follow Microsoft's best practices for authentication and authorization when working with Microsoft Graph API.
