Missing presence status in Outlook
- Oct 16, 2020
You have to register Teams as your default chat app for Office, this can be done in Teams:
- click on your profile picture
- select settings
- in the section General you have to check the checkbox for Register Teams as chat app for Office
- it is applied automatically (no Ok button), you just have to restart your office applications
 
MarcusB we haven't used Skype for Business. Never. We are only using Teams.
This situation happened to me, after uninstalling the Cisco jabber program, which was used used before Teams, it is probably the explanation for not seeing the status in the names of the users in the mailing.
I can only re-install Cisco Jabber, and see if the status can be seen again from Teams.

Hi Eduardo_Soto_1975 did you solve it? I have same issue on a PC. Fixed only if reinstall Jabber.
On other PC all the tips related to registry settings worked but in one case not!
Thanks in advance for sharing a feedback from your side.
