Is there a way to put myself on vacation in Teams?
Recently we started to use Microsoft Teams at work. I love it. I've also added Teams to my Samsung Galaxy S10. I'm on vacation for the rest of the week. However, I'm still getting notifications f...
Your best bet is a combo solution here. Set Automatic Replies via mobile Outlook and set your Teams to Quiet Hours for the vacation. This will put your status as Out of Office to everyone and show your message to them in Teams when they try to mention or chat with you and also suppress notifications.
Hope this helps.P.S. I wrote a blog awhile back about some presence updates and it has a link to the original Out of Office setup if interested: https://webbtech365.blogspot.com/2019/02/updated-teams-out-of-office-presence.html
Hi Rod-F,
There are multiple user voices which has been raised for that exact scenario

Have you checked the Notification settings on the device? The reason I ask is because on IOS you have the ability to set both quiet hours and quiet days (accessed through quiet hours) which mutes all notifications. You could even run through and turn the notifications off manually for a period.
I would imagine that the functionality is forthcoming where you can set vacation and it mutes notifications across all devices. I would vote on the uservoices and push them up the agenda
I would also recommending setting a status message in the options too on either the desktop client or the mobile which will notify people your away if they message you or mention you in a channel.
Hope that answers your question!
Best, Chris

- Also if you put a OOO in outlook, this will be shown in Teams too
