teams status

Question

change teams status from available, out of office,

Answer 1

Dear Edikan,

To change your status in Teams, follow these steps:

1. Select your profile picture at the top right.
2. Select your current status.
3. Choose Available, Busy, Do not disturb, Be right back, Appear away or Appear offline.

To keep a status for a set time, go to Profile picture > Current status > Duration, choose the status and when it should reset, then save.

Out of Office works a little differently, because it's set through automatic replies rather than the status list:

1. Select your profile picture, then Set status message.
2. Select Schedule out of office.
3. Turn on Automatic replies, enter your message, and set start and end dates if you want.
4. Select Save.

To remove Out of Office, go back to Schedule out of office, turn off Automatic replies, and select Save. If Teams still shows Out of Office, check your automatic replies in Outlook and any calendar events marked as Out of Office, since Teams picks up its status from Outlook.

I hope this helps. Looking forward to your reply.
