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.

    Clearing that folder solved the issue: %appdata%\Microsoft*Teams*

    I have also the same issue today. I cannot remove the out of office automatic message from teams.

    On my side it looks like this:

    The status is both Available and Out of Office at the same time.

    Very annoying.

    I have mot meeting in Outlook:

    And the Automatic Reply is deactivated in Outlook:

    Not sure how I can fix it.

    Regards,

    Emmanuel

    I saw on another post that if anyone sends you an invite and they are ooo it shows up as if you are.  I think thats what Im seeing as the issue, our team sends out a faux meeting invite saying "joe smith PTO- BSmiley covering"  to the whole team so we are all aware (we are spread across 10 states) and it makes it appear as if I am also OOO.  Its a bad set up microsoft.

    This was the cause of mine!  It's seems obvious now I read it back, and yes, bad design by Microsoft for one person set to OOO to show all invitees as OOO!

    100% Correct! This is a 2 year issue and we are ALL experiencing it. Seems like the problem is Microsoft not us.

    This is a horrible response - basically your saying don't have anything on your calendar that says out of office.  When you use outlook correct (the way the rest of the world does) you have your calendar up today (including out office events for weeks away and team mates).  Why is Microsoft telling people to break their calendar to manage a defect in their solution?    Teams should be providing the updated status based on a persons current status not future or past status' and if we manually change it, the manual change should take affect.

    Horrible experience!
