Teams displays INCORRECT status
- Aug 23, 2020Just FYI. Teams just released a real time presence update. It is now much more accurate for internal and external users. It will detect any activity on the computer but it still might not respect presenting on other platforms. That isn’t something all the platforms are going to know what each one is doing. If teams starts utilizing OS focus assist that might tie better to presence. Anyway just wanted to say an update that fixes all that status complaining has just went live in the past week.
ChrisWebbTech Thank you but it was working fine for me till a few weeks ago. I had this issue in the beginning of the year, and an update fixed it.. Now since two weeks same issue. And I disagree with your statement "That isn’t something all the platforms are going to know what each one is doing".. Teams could do it until these two weeks so now what is the problem? Why does Teams show me away when I am presenting on Webex on another monitor that is connected to the computer? And how come Teams shows me Away in 5 minutes? I cannot even take down notes or if I am on a call helping somebody and sharing my monitor it shows me Away!!! For my work, it is easier for me to use the monitor as it has a bigger screen than my computer and imagine my supervisor calling me because Teams shows me Away most of the day!!! Ridiculous. If Skype could detect presence what is wrong with Teams? Poorly built is what I say. And we the consumers have to suffer because of this poorly built application.
HUNDREDS if not thousands of complaints for Teams displaying incorrect status but Microsoft is LEAST BOTHERED!!!!!!! Goes to say what crap products they come out with and we consumers have to suffer for their lack of ethics in coming out with such products. My question for Microsoft - How many years would it take you to fix a problem that was created by YOUR product?
