Skype for business status presence in Team

Hello all!

I am receiving Skype calls when on Team meeting as my status on Skype shown green ‘available’, how can I configure Team such as it shows my status on skype red as ‘meeting’ or ‘call’?

Thanks 

Tom

    Yeah as Linus said when in islands both apps are independent and don’t know what one is doing vs the other. You only share presence to your Skype users is you are set to Teams only mode then your presence should show to your Skype users.

        tuscan72 You can do it for the whole organisation or per user. See this document for instructions:

        https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/setting-your-coexistence-and-upgrade-settings

         

        1. In the Microsoft Teams admin center, in the left navigation, go to Org-wide settings > Teams upgrade.

        2. At the top of the Teams upgrade page, make the following changes if they will work for you.

          • Set the Coexistence mode.
            • Islands - Use this setting if you want users to be able to use both Skype for Business and Teams simultaneously.
            • Skype for Business only - Use this setting if you want your users to only use Skype for Business.
            • Skype for Business with Teams collaboration - Use this setting if you want your users to use Skype for Business in addition to using Teams for group collaboration (channels).
            • Skype for Business with Teams collaboration and meetings - Use this setting if you want your users to use Skype for Business in addition to using Teams for group collaboration (channels) and Teams meetings.
            • Teams only (in preview for some organizations) - Use this setting if you want your users to use only Teams. Note that even with this setting, users can still join meetings hosted in Skype for Business.
          • Set Notify Skype for Business users that Teams is available for upgrade. If you turn this on, it will tell the Skype for Business users that they will soon be upgraded to the Teams app.
          • Set the Preferred app for users to join Skype for Business meetings. This setting determines which app is used for joining Skype for Business meetings and is honored regardless of the value of coexistence mode.
            • Skype Meetings app
            • Skype for Business with limited features
          • Set whether to Download the Teams app in the background for Skype for Business users. This setting silently downloads the Teams app for users running Skype for Business on Windows. It is honored only if coexistence mode for the user is Teams only or if notifications of pending upgrade are enabled in Skype for Business.

        3. Click Save after you make your changes.
