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.

    Does anyone know how to change this setting ? I'm regularly out of the offie, but I want Teams Chat to work so my Team can get hold of me if they need to urgently. Also, what is the definition of "External meeting ?"

    I had the issue and managed to solve.

    The cause was an employee who had send me an invite for a period that he was on vacation.  He marked HIS event to show as out of the office. However, when i accepted it it change my status to be OOO.

    See if you have events of other users accepted by you in which you see that they marked the event to display as OOO.

    Hi Daily,

    Here are the steps to change status in Microsoft Teams. As I understand based on your description, you might have tried the steps but the status still show as Away. Please note that if you've been idle for five minutes or more, Teams will automatically change your status from Available to Away.

    Besides, you can update your status from the command box at the top of Teams. Type /away, /busy, /dnd, or /available to set your status as Away, Busy, Do not disturb, or Available. If the issue persists, could you please provide a screenshot of the issue?

    Regards,

    Carlos
