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.

    Another issue I've encountered, just today, is that the chat function has started to disappear for many users.  It says chat is disabled by the administrator, however I'M the administrator (or at least I'm supposed to be) and I didn't do such a thing.

    I've started experiencing the same problem this morning and also has my colleague a couple weeks ago.

    Tried all of the suggestions here too, nothing working. Any news on MS confirming this bug?

    I have this exact issue, tried all the little tips in this thread.  No luck.  I can see that when I close teams there is a teams process still open.  What is the point of the status selections if I can't use them?

    I have posted this same problem before.  There is nothing anyone can do to fix it except for MS. 

    Everyone here is simply showing the gap between turning off your out of office in Outlook (any version) and the lag that exist between Outlook and Teams.  MS would have to set up a sync exchange server with a better limit to comb changes and release them to Teams. 

    We can all bang our head against the wall, this is MS not you.  It will update when it updates, 1 hour to a few days later.
