Setting presence using api
Hi Blizth,
No, there is no way to achieve the desired behavior, You can get user presence but can't modify it by using graph API, sdk or with any other back end library. This won't be implemented in the near future. It's by design.
Manish-MSFTthank you for your response 🙂 Are there any other ways to manage the presence of Teams users, but without using graph api, like some kind of backend library, sdk?
And the second question. When you said that this is not achievable by design, you meant right now or are there any plans for the future to add this feature? Thank you for your time 🙂
Hi Blizth,
Jagadeesh-MSFTThat's bad design then. And the https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/39651298-microsoft-graph-presence-api that explicitly asked for put-permission has been closed as solved after 1600+ votes. From the top of my head I can think of 20+ scenarios where this would be super useful. Only allowing the app and other Microsoft products to set your availability status is bad design. The user requests prove this, as usual Microsoft doesn't listen.
Thank you for your answer.
