Presence is a feature of Teams. Change it to offline if you desire.
- I have the setting to "Appear Offline" Thank you! However I am still curious, how do they immediately see it, I never receive notifications when people are online?

It was just a bit bizarre for me, I did notice in the message options someone could request to be notified each time a person they messaged comes online....
