Three tips for better Teams presence
Who is really reachable shows in the presence status. Three simple habits that keep your team's status reliable and meaningful.
The presence status in Microsoft Teams is only as useful as it is maintained. These three habits make sure that a glance at the dashboard is enough.
1. Set the status deliberately
Do not rely on the automation alone. If you go into focus mode, set Do not disturb – and switch back afterwards.
2. Keep calendar and Teams in sync
Scheduled appointments are reflected in the status automatically. Keep the calendar clean and the presence will be right too.
With TeamsDashboard you see the presence of the entire organization at a glance – ideal for quickly spotting who is available right now.
3. Record absences
A short out-of-office notice saves follow-up questions and makes clear to the whole team when to expect a reply again.
