How to use API SetPressence to Microsoft Teams

Question

I wish to use the API to setPressence to my Microsoft Teams account, but I can't find my userID and sessionID. [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/presence-setpresence?view=graph-rest-beta&tabs=http Where should I get the userID and sessionID of my account?

Answer 1

Hello,

To get the userID send an HTTP GET response to Graph API:

GET /me

Example response: "id": "87d349ed-44d7-43e1-9a83-5f2406dee5bd"

Get user (documentation)

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-get?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

On the other hand, the Application itself also has an ID (called sessionID). You will want to open the application you are trying to use and find its ID (looks similar to the userID). The Application ID can be found in the Azure AD Portal.

Hi @TEO JUN JIA ,

Hope you are doing well.

To get User ID, please execute the Graph API: GET me/ or GET users/{User-ID}

According to this documentation we have to give ID of the application as the sessionID to set an application's presence session for a user.

I tried it in postman tool by using the clientID of the azure app configured to be used in postman for authentication.

Please find the below screenshot

Please refer these links to set:
