Teams displays INCORRECT status
When in meetings or presenting on another monitor, or working on another monitor, Teams displays as "Away".. Can Teams not recognize Webex meetings, working on another computer/monitor? Even Skype ca...
- Just 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.
Or not. Here I am in Nov. '21 actively typing messages/communicating with co-workers on Teams (and have been for a while) - and there is a yellow dot next to my pic and the status says Away. How irritating.
Same bad experience here.
+1 for that - it used to have a problem with the Away status appearing erroneously a few months ago - and it just started doing it again today for at least 2 people in the organisation - including me!
I have the desktop client open and the Android client not opened on my screen-locked phone.
Hi Jeff. I also have the Android client on my phone, but not opened intentionally. I tried to uninstall, but was rejected due to company policy. Then I turned off the phone ... and the issue disappeared!
My conclusion is, that the phone client sees me as inactive and updates my status on the server.
So Microsoft, if you read this: Always use the most active state, reported from any client, as the one that counts.
