Teams away setting automatically switching on when not away

Anonymous

Hi there,

My teams status is constantly switching to "away" while I am working on my computer. This is very frustrating as my co-workers need to know when I am actually away or available.

Is there a manual override for this? It would be excellent to be able to set it as available so that my team knows they can reach my even if I am working on paper, or in this case if it has switched itself to "away".

Thanks!

Hi Seven,

I will need to reference something when explaining this to my superiors....

Thanks

Same issue as well with my company. This is honestly ridiculous Microsoft hasn't fixed this in two months.
