Teams status message update programatically

Question

Hi,

We would like to update user status message in Teams based on his/her shift. Is that possible? I can't see a way to do it with Teams Presence API but is there another way or am I just not understanding the API correctly?

Thanks,
-kimmo

@Kimmo Halonen ,

From Teams side,presence states in Teams are divided into user configured and app configured. App-configured presence states are based on user activity (Available, Away), Outlook calendar states (In a meeting), or Teams app states (In a call, Presenting). It cannot be controlled by Shifts.

From Teams API side, I did not find related methods in official document now.

As we are mainly responsible for general issue of Microsoft Teams, your requirement related to development is not in our scope. I would change office-teams-windows-itpro tag to office-teams-app-dev tag to provide more technical support. Thanks for your understanding.
