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,
Is there an article explaining how this works?
I will need to reference something when explaining this to my superiors....
Thanks
Caleb

Same issue for our company...
2 months! This bug has been reported since 2018 believe it. Come on Microsoft! And we got rid of Skype for this pathetic program. How can you be in a Team if your mostly Away!
This bug has been present since 2018. How can this software be classed as professional. Bring back Skype for Business, its so much faster, better features, uses less data and actually gets the status right! I.e. I'm Available when using my computer.
