Teams: How to change your availability status

Issue/Question

  • I want to quickly change my availability status in Teams. How do I do this?

Resolution

You can quickly change your availability status:

  • Click on your Team Profile icon.

You will see the profile options.

  • Click your current status (in this example it is currently set to 'Available'.
  • Choose a different one.

'Available' is the default setting.

If there is an appointment on your Outlook calendar or a meeting set in the Team calendar that includes you, the settings will be 'Busy' during the meeting time.

'Do Not Disturb' will still allow anyone in your priority notification list to get in touch with you. Please see Teams: How to set up a priority notification

'Reset status will return to whatever status your calendar reads at that time.
