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.

    Same as above... I have the same issue. I had my out of office on 3 weeks ago, turned it off when i returned. Outlook is not showing as OOO. Now i do have calendars for my team and others and so maybe that is it.. I would suggest a toggle for this type of sync for teams and outlook calendars. This "feature" is not a one solution works for all.

    I ended up fixing it by turning the out of office back and and then immediately off. I guess I found a bug?

    I am facing the same issue. Mine seems to be caused by having gone on vacation last week and setting my Automatic Replies on in Outlook for that week. Upon returning, I noticed that my status on Microsoft Teams was "[Any status], Out of Office".

    This is clearly a bug that many cannot remedy with the suggested solutions. I'm part of that boat and will be impatiently waiting for a fix.

    I am having the same issue, It shows I am available but Out of Office... Sorry Carlos, We need someone to look at this for a better solution, If I find something different I will post here; but I hope  Microsoft will not ignore this... I Normally don't post to forums but if enough people have the same issue maybe someone will do something different. It is not our imagination.
