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.

    I deleted all the files in the Teams cache folders and then everything worked again.

    Hello, I can not change my OOO status in Teams. OOO in Outlook is turned off. I've tried to restart Teams but this did not correct the problem.

    How can I fix a normal status in Teams ?

    I had the same issue, the status Out of office was stuck because the calendar was configured to does not accept meeting during this time, and even when I removed the automatic replies from email, the calendar was not updated. So, you only need to go into the calendar app and remove the event Out of the office.

    when creating that all day OOO appointment, you should change the "show as" to Free (that's normally the default).
