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.

    Yes!

    I was able to fix the problem after deleting all the Out Of Office invitations on by one until I found the invite where my collegues had chosen "All Day"

    The moment I deleted that invite, my MS Teams status was back to Normal (Available ) again!!!

    Good find, Jeremiah!!

    I had to log out of all TEAMs on my mobile devices, reboot the phone. And close outlook and Teams, reboot the desktop/laptop. That dud the trick in my case.

    Please check if you have any group OOO calendar invites in your calendar.

    I had the same issue, I have followed the below steps to get rid of it.

    1. Turn ON and Turn OFF Automatic Replay option from OWA
    2. Deleted other Team members OOO Calendar invites from my calendar (Invite send to group DL)

    There you go, that it :)
