how to show skype availability in Teams

Question

Hi,My team are currently trialling using Teams for all internal communication/document sharing. One of the major bugs bearers we are having is that you cant see the S4B availability of each staff member. Is there any way to have this show in Teams?&nbsp;

What do you see in terms of presence? What coexistence mode are you in?

adam deltinger&nbsp;in terms of presence I can see the person is available on Teams, while Skype status is at 'Busy'. I believe we are in Island mode&nbsp;

That is the issue, You must be in Teams Only mode and the others in Skype Only mode in order to get Presence working across.

ChrisWebbTech&nbsp;we are currently running in Islands mode and our presence shows in both Teams &amp; Skype.

Yeah it shows, but it's unique to each product, they aren't unified. You have to set your status on both products if you do any manual manipulation of your status since they are separate products. Both utilize your meetings in your calendar, and all of that so it would seem like they are shared but they are not. If you are in a Skype call for example, you would show Online to users in Teams, and vise versa.
