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.

2022-02-18T19:30:45+00:00 I have this issue as well. I have teams on my ipad, iphone, and computer. The status of either the ipad or iphone is overriding the status of the computer, and shows me as "away". It also will not let me set "Available" manually on the computer.

My Cell phone is the only device that seems to dictate what my Teams Status is......
Point and Case - I am actively working in Teams on my computer and it says I am "away," again I am actively working and communicating with my teams within teams on my computer. This even has done this while in a virtual meeting.....
The only time that my status shows, "Available," is when I am engaging with teams on my cell phone. If I do not engage with my teams app on my phone EVERY 5 min then it sets my status to "Away," again even when I am actively working and chatting in teams on my computer.
This is quite frankly pretty unacceptable in today's world.... With more and more people working remotely some companies use the status as an indicator if you are working or not.... Getting in trouble for something you have no control over and cannot change is quite frustrating especially when they are saying you are not working when in fact I am actively working in teams on my computer. Having to engage on my cell phone every 5 min is NOT and acceptable answer to this issue IMO.
I know that you are not necessarily employed by Microsoft - None of this is directed at you, I am just quite frustrated with the issue and needed to vocalize it.
