Microsoft Teams status is stuck on "Out of Office"

I recently went on vacation and accessed Teams from my tablet for the first time by installing the Teams app. Now I am back at work and using my work laptop. Even though I have signed out of the Teams app on my tablet and removed my work account from all Microsoft apps on my tablet, my Teams status is still stuck as "Out of Office." How can I change it to "Available?"

Things I have tried:

  1. (tablet) Changing status to "Available" on the tablet app
  2. (tablet) Signing out of the tablet app
  3. (tablet) Removing my work accounts from my tablet completely
  4. (laptop) Signing in and out of the Teams app
  5. (laptop) clicking on my profile pic and changing the status to "Available" or any other status. (There is no change at all)
  6. (laptop) typing in the command to change my status to available (no change at all)
  7. (browser) Accessing Teams through Chrome on my laptop and doing 5 and 6 (no effect)

Note that my Skype and Outlook status is correctly set to "Available." I'm at a complete loss and would really like help with this.

    Hello!

    I'm experiencing the same thing. I can't change my status although I've updated my out of office reply. :(

    They need to open a support ticket with Microsoft then.

    If the above does not work, that is!

    Please let us know!!

    It won't let me paste a screen shot. 

    But when I click the profile pick the status says: Available, Out of Office 

    I have tried to change it to Available. 

    I can change it on my phone to available but my computer won't update. 

    I tried to Reset Status but that also doesn't work. 

    I don't have any appointments on my calendar. 

    I have restarted and checked for updates. 

    If i change it to busy, it turns purple and just says Out of Office.

    This is basically the 737 Max MCAS of product features. Under normal logical usage, it'll do the wrong thing and make your life miserable so you have to trick it into working properly.

    Same as above... I have the same issue. I had my out of office on 3 weeks ago, turned it off when i returned. Outlook is not showing as OOO. Now i do have calendars for my team and others and so maybe that is it.. I would suggest a toggle for this type of sync for teams and outlook calendars. This "feature" is not a one solution works for all.
