Checking a colleague’s presence status

Checking user presence status

The presence status of any colleague will always appear as a small dot, directly beneath and to the right of their profile picture. Hovering your mouse over the profile picture will also reveal the user’s presence status. You can do the same with your own profile picture and presence status.

The status can be configured by the user or by the system.

The table below shows the possible status settings:

User configured		BusyApp configured
	Available		Available
			Available, Out of Office
	Busy		Busy
			On a call
			In a meeting
			On a call, out of office
	Do not disturb
			Presenting
			Focusing
	Away		Away
			Away Last Seen time
	Be right back
			Off Work
			Offline
			Status unknown
			Blocked
			Out of Office

Changing your presence status

To change your presence status, click your profile picture and point to your current presence status to reveal the available options.

Select the option which best describes your status.

When you have finished doing whatever you are doing, return and select Reset status. This will ensure that the system maintains your presence status.

An even quicker way to change your presence status is to point to the Teams icon on your taskbar (assuming Teams is running) and select one of the four status options available.
