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 .. what I did and it worked is to turn invitations send to me that they would be OOF .. and changed to show as "Free". 

    Once that was done, Teams did respect my status to whatever I chose .. such as "Busy".

    Problem: I had no meetings for today, and my out of office notification expired today at 8:00 AM. My Teams status was still showing out of office at 11:00 AM.

    Solution: create new all day meeting and save. Cancel the meeting. Teams status is refreshed.

    Here's what worked for me:

    1. Set an appointment in the current time slot in my Outlook calendar. This caused my status to change to Busy.
    2. Delete the appointment. This caused my status to change to Available,
    3. ....and the Out of Office message was gone.

    Thank you again. Your process was not necessary, as I stated in my first message here, the issue was already solved.
