Microsoft Teams Status - Desktop and Mobile

Anonymous

I have recently received Microsoft Teams access as part of my Office pack.

I noticed that with the mobile app logged in, the status is constantly showing "Available" even when i am not active.

This means anyone looking for me would believe that i am available.

Is there no way to set it to show as away or at least a separate status that states "mobile" when we are not active on the desktop App of teams?

It is highly annoying to have to amend the status manually.

    Microsoft simply does not care
    They do whatever they want & unless a Majority of BUSINESS (read where they make $$) complain, then they don't care
    I work for a large Company around Boston MA (80k employees), and this issue has come up, but no one really cares to escalate it
    Microsoft recently changed the layout of webmail & moved the READ/Trash etc. menu to the FAR right & you can't move it

    The basic non-reply - report it & if enough people complain they might change it
    Not going to happen .........they do whatever they want & do not Care

    My problem: Desktop application always defaults to my Mobile App status. I cannot update the Desktop to show "Available" when my phone version is sleeping and Teams shows away.

    My fix: disabled "Background App Refresh" on the iPhone app settings (not the Teams settings). My Mobile still gets notifications, but my desktop version is now correctly reporting my desktop status. I can change status on the desktop app as expected.

    Yes, I had to sign out and signed-in, once that was done my Microsoft Team works fine. I have no other issues. Have your Tech Support send you a new link and sign-in from the new link, that is exactly what I had to do.

    Yes, it’s definitely a work around. It was sounding like a few of you hadn’t tried the signing out and then back in on the computer to get Teams status working again. Hopefully Teams clean things up for better syncing on all devices.

    That isn't a solution, that's a workaround. And also manually setting the status does not work.
