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.

    Hello Justme.2,

    I’m glad you found a workaround by deactivating the “New Teams” experience to restore the presence in Outlook. It seems like this is a known issue that Microsoft is aware of. Please continue to check for updates in Teams, as this issue may be resolved in a future update. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

    Kind regards, Segunfunmi

    Thanks Denise. I had to close Outlook first then sign out of the new Teams and sign back in.

    Unfortunately we use the 2016 office suite and the only fix is to keep using classic teams. I think people need to clarify the office version they’re using.
