Today I’m going to take you through some tips around managing your availability with becoming more important nowadays because we’re working remotely and not around it, we have to signal when we’re available now if you want to understand a bit more about the why and hear my ten cents worth and opinions.

Switch your Microsoft Teams status manually to available

The first point you should do is double-check that your Microsoft Team’s status is appropriate. To customize your Microsoft Teams status, you can choose from six different status screen settings. The following are the default status settings:

• Available
• Busy
• Do not disturb
• Be right back
• Appear away
• Appear offline

You must have your Microsoft Team’s status set to available at all times. This is how you may retain the status of Microsoft Teams as accessible.

1. Open the Microsoft Teams app or go to the Microsoft Teams website. We’ll be using the web version in our scenario.
2. Enter your username and password to access your account.
3. Click on your Profile icon.
4. Finally, click on your current Microsoft Teams status, which is located beneath your name, and select available from the drop-down menu.

Automatic check-out Microsoft Teams status after 5 minutes

Microsoft Team’s status will change to” absent” after 10 minutes, except if you are an active user of the application. This status can make employees appear “Away” even though they are simply working within a different application, and running Teams in the background does not help.

This is a known frustration with users.  Does Microsoft plan to add update this feature anytime in the foreseeable future? So far Microsoft has only offered workarounds, which are not adequate nor do they meet the customers’ expectations.

To stop Microsoft Teams from auto-changing your Microsoft Teams status, you have to ensure that your PC stays active and did not deactivate into nap. Whenever your desktop goes into standby or inactive mode, Microsoft Teams status automatically supposes that you are no more using the PC platform and your Microsoft Teams status changes to absent.

How does Microsoft Teams define the availability?

Microsoft keeps track of your availability on the app for both “available” and “away” Microsoft Teams status. Furthermore, if you are using the program in the background, your status will disappear.

How to avoid Microsoft Teams to be viewed?

You must keep your PC active and prevent it from slipping into sleep mode to avoid Microsoft Team’s status from coming up. You can use third-party software to move your cursor across your PC screen, such as a mouse jiggle or a mouse program. Microsoft’s employees track your cursor movement and presume you’re in the room. Your Microsoft Team’s status will stay available in this manner.
