Microsoft Teams status is stuck on "Out of Office"

I have the same issue. In my situation I have an appointment that starts 12:00 pm "out of office", however in 11:00 am the Teams change my status to "out of office". The problem happens because in two weeks the summer time will begin here in Brazil, so the Outlook Web puts my appointments to 11:00 am. But in the Outlook Desktop is showing correctly 12:00 pm. The bug is related with summer time.

We use the calendar similarly to track time off within our team. I found that in the Calendar app on the Microsoft website (https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/view/Month) you can right click on the meeting in question and change the "Show as" setting to "Free" in lieu of deleting the meeting entirely.

Yup, this worked! It takes about 20 mins to ripple through the system.

I have a larger team and need to know who are on Paid Time Off (Vacation). They have to send me the invite with "Show-as-Free" marked. If they choose "Out-of-Office", then it clobbers TEAMS which thinks YOU are out of the office. 

Thanks! This was very helpful. 

Acted like it accepted the command.  Said it accepted the command.

Still stuck in  out of office status.

I had an end-user reporting this same issue.  I found that he had three ALL DAY meetings on his calendar for today.  These were actually meetings that others sent to his calendar to let him know of their PTO/being off that day.  Check the end-users Outlook for all-day events, (usually listed at the top of the calendar above the rest of the meetings/appointments that have dedicated times), and if you can remove them with user's permission...hopefully that does it.  It took about 20 minutes for Teams to show as "Available" and I processed a reboot of his machine as well during that 20 minutes for something else we were doing on his workstation.

Good luck!

Hi All,

The Unified Presence Service will update Teams OOF based on Automatic Replies OOF or Calendar appointments set to show status as OOF. In this situation, you can filter client query to search for OOF, then remove these calendar items. 

And the Unified Presence Service (UPS) polls Exchange every hour. If you have removed related calendar items, you need to wait for some time and check the issue again. Your time is appreciated. 

If you still have a similar issue, please post a new thread in our forum. Our related engineers will help you with your issue. And if you have some suggestions or great ideas, you are welcome to give feedback via Microsoft Teams Uservoice. Thanks for your understanding. 

Regards,

Carlos

I am having the same problem. I figured out, after reading all of the replies, that it was probably because I'd accepted an out of office meeting from my boss that looked like it was only half an hour in the morning (convenient way to remind each other of status) but turned out he'd accidentally checked all day. Once I figured it out, I rejected the meeting and hoped I would be able to set myself to active again but no luck.

Quite honestly, this "feature" is the absolute worst. It's one thing to trigger a status if I'm inactive or even look at my calendar and try to figure out an appropriate status for me...ONCE A DAY. But if I am changing my status to Active and it insists I don't know what I'm doing...this "feature" becomes a bug.
