Manage your presence

Your presence indicator (or status) is affected by events on your calendar: By default, any event marked Busy on your calendar causes your status in Teams to also show as Busy. 

• When you're creating a meeting or appointment in classic Outlook, select   Show As in the Options area on the ribbon to set what your status should be during that event.

For info on setting your status in Teams, see Set your status.

For troubleshooting presence status issues, see User presence status issues in Outlook.
