New Teams is not allowing Outlook to display contact status.
If I turn Off "Try the new Teams" and go back to old Teams, then Outlook starts showing contact status.

New Teams is not allowing Outlook to display contact status.
If I turn Off "Try the new Teams" and go back to old Teams, then Outlook starts showing contact status.

Here is a potential fix. From the below article about fixing Presence in Outlook it mentions to manually set the registry to "Teams"

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IM Providers

  • Name: DefaultIMApp
  • Type: REG_SZ
  • Data: Teams

Check your registry, but in my case, I has two entries under IM Providers, so I changed the Data from 'Teams' to 'MsTeams' and that fixed the problem.

I got presence/status working with Outlook 365 (not the new version).

In Teams I had to click on my picture/account in the top right and then click "Sign Out". Then when I signed back into Teams my status started working.

    In my case, the referenced link helped me to identify the exact teams architecture. The registry values & tlb file names identified the precise architecture (X86/X64).
    From that I could identify on my 32 bit office 64 bit teams new has got installed and this difference is not allowing presence addin to work correctly.

    Teams classic was 32 bit or 64 bit, I could not confirm & all other registries are intact on system, so that did not fixed my issue.
    The last option I proceed was -

    I repaired office online mode.
    I un-installed teams classic machine wide & then from user profile un-installed teams classic updates.
    I downloaded teams bootstrapper and 32 bit teams new msix

    I un-installed teams new with bootstraper uninstall command

    After a restart to the system, I installed new teams 32 bit with bootstrapper command

    In the cases I have worked on, some users didn't have these registry values.

    After adding it and restarting Outlook, the display contact status worked.

    Registry 1 (Execute regedit.exe as the currently logged-in user)

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\IM Providers

    Name:DefaultIMApp

    Type:REG_SZ

    Data:MsTeams

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\IM Providers\MsTeams

    Name:UpAndRunning

    Type:REG_DWORD

    Data:2

    Name:PreviousDefaultIMApp

    Type:REG_SZ

    Data:Teams

    Registry 2 (Execute regedit.exe as administrator)
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IM Providers\MsTeams

    Name:FriendlyName

    Type:REG_SZ

    Data:Microsoft Teams

    Name:GUID

    Type:REG_SZ

    Data:{88435F68-FFC1-445F-8EDF-EF78B84BA1C7}

    Name:ProcessName

    Type:REG_SZ

    Data:ms-teams.exe

    Registry 3 (Execute regedit.exe as administrator)

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\IM Providers\MsTeams

    Name:FriendlyName

    Type:REG_SZ

    Data:Microsoft Teams

    Name:GUID

    Type:REG_SZ

    Data:{88435F68-FFC1-445F-8EDF-EF78B84BA1C7}

    Name:ProcessName

    Type:REG_SZ

    Data:ms-teams.exe
