Microsoft Teams Status - Desktop and Mobile

yes but that means that the status has to be changed manually on a daily basis.

This makes it (slightly) troublesome, and (very) prone to mistakes.

If this is the current set up, i will go check out the Teams User Voice page and see if any suggestions have been made.

p.s. Thanks for the reply Rian

Unfortunately the status between desktop and mobile is not dependent to each other.
The status is based on your activity on each devices so you will be needing to update manually the statuses for both devices.

Teams will automatically set your status from Available to Away when the Teams app is in the background. On desktop and web, this will happen when you lock your computer or when it enters idle or sleep mode.

That does not seem to be the case.

Changing the status on Desktop currently updates my Mobile status, and vice versa.

I have also had confirmation from my colleagues that i was showing as available on Teams out of my work hours, when my Laptop was off. the Mobile app was not actively running either (but possibly running in the background).

It seems like there are quite a number of discrepancies with the way the statuses work.

I don’t understand. My teams app status changes to away if I haven’t touched my phone in 5 minutes even when other apps are active and the teams app hasn’t been shut down. Also, even though it says I can change my status duration on my desktop app, it still changes to away if I don’t touch my computer in 10 minutes even though I said not to change my status til end of day.

What about the new offline status? if I had set it to offline in both the app and on Windows will it stay offline or do I have to reset that every day too? Thanks

I am experiencing the same issue. If my teams app is in the background and my iphone is locked, its changing my Desktop app to Away. Very annoying to say the least.

why is there not for example a check box that one can set. It’s mobile Teams Status to offline if the office hours are over.

Here are more then 170 people and sure a lot more who hasn’t read this yet but have the same issue.

Sure one can change it manually ...

But you could also say yes we see the problem we will change this.

And this is not new.

There was such suggestion already more then 2 years ago: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/33313933-turn-teams-in-auto-sleep-at-night

Sure there are people, which use this function because they work on standby ...

But for ordinary people who has a 9 to 5 job, and I guess that are the majority of the people who use teams, would be happy about this possibility to implement an auto turn off outside the working hours

I second Christian's comment:

"Sure one can change it manually...

But you could also say yes we see the problem we will change this."

People always seem to think I am available even when I am away from my computer or if it after work hours. I want to have access to Teams on my phone all day, but I want my phone to NOT show "available" if I am away from my computer except in specific situations where I could set the status to available. To manually change my phone to "away" every time I walk away from my computer sounds like something I should not have to do.
