Presence is part of a user's profile in Microsoft Teams (and throughout Microsoft 365 or Office 365). Presence indicates the user's current availability and status to other users. By default, anyone in your organization using Teams can see (in nearly real time) if other users are available online. Presence is updated in real time on the web and desktop versions when you refresh the page on mobile.

- May 28, 2021 Go to your profile settings page. Scroll down to the “Manage email preferences” section. Provide the email address where you would like to receive notifications as well as your country/region of residence.

- Learn about IM notifications in Skype for Business. Skype for Business shows taskbar notifications and alerts in several situations—like when someone initiates a conversation with you, or when someone adds you to their Contacts list. Skype for Business lets you decide when, where, and from whom you will see these alerts.
A feature offered by Skype is the ability to tag contacts for any status changes. Check out how to turn this pop-up feature on or off.
For details about Teams user profiles on different platforms, see Teams features by platform.
Teams respects your privacy configuration so if you have enabled the privacy mode, your presence will not be visible to external users.
Presence states in Teams
User configured | App configured |
---|---|
Available | Available |
Available, Out of Office. Note: Out of office is automatically set for the periods of time where the user sets 'automatic replies'. If the user is using the app during these periods of time, a dual presence might be shown, such as 'Out of office, available'. | |
Busy | Busy |
In a call | |
In a meeting | |
On a call, out of office | |
Do not disturb | |
Presenting | |
Focusing. Focus happens when the users schedule focus time in MyAnalytics/Insights in their calendars. | |
Away | Away |
Away Last Seen time | |
Be right back | |
Appear offline | Offline. When users aren't logged in on any of their devices for a few minutes, they appear offline. |
Status unknown | |
Out of Office. Out of Office is used when an automatic reply is set. |
Note
For users that have their mailbox hosted on-prem, presence delays of one hour (maximum) are expected.
App-configured presence states are based on user activity (Available, Away), Outlook calendar states (In a meeting), or Teams app states (In a call, Presenting). When you're in focus mode based on your calendar, Focusing will be the state people see in Teams. Focus mode will display as Do not disturb in other products.
Your current presence state changes to Away when you lock your computer or when your computer enters idle or sleep mode. On a mobile device, your presence status changes to Away whenever the Teams app is in the background.
Users receive all chat messages sent to them in Teams regardless of their presence state. If a user is offline when someone sends them a message, the chat message appears in Teams the next time the user is online. If a user state is set to Do not disturb, the user will still receive chat messages, but banner notifications aren't displayed.
Users receive calls in all presence states except for Do not disturb, in which incoming calls go to voicemail. If the recipient blocked the caller, the call won't be delivered and the caller sees the recipient's presence as Offline.
Users can add people to their priority access list by going to Settings > Privacy in Teams. People who have priority access can contact the user even when the user's status is set to Do not disturb.
Dual presence
The way presence works for most users is motivated by the events in the calendar or device events, such as a call. The user can override this status in the UI by manually setting states, which have some expiration time.
User configured states expiration
When a user selects a specific presence state, it takes precedence over any app activity update. For example, if a user sets herself as Do not disturb, her presence will remain as Do not disturb even if she attends a meeting or answers a call.
User configured states have default expiration settings in Teams, in order to prevent users from displaying a status that may not be relevant after a period of time.
User configured state | Default expiration |
---|---|
Busy | 1 day |
Do not disturb | 1 day |
Others | 7 days |
Note
A user can also configure manually a duration for her presence. For instance, a user can set herself as Appear offline until tomorrow morning.
Admin settings in Teams compared to Skype for Business
The following admin settings Skype for Business are different in Teams:
- In Teams, presence sharing is always enabled for users in the organization. Privacy (where you define who can see presence) configuration isn't available in Teams.
- Presence sharing with everyone (including Federated services) is always enabled for users in Teams. Their contact list (if they had one in Skype for Business) is visible under Chat > Contacts or under Calls > Contacts.
- Client Do Not Disturb and Breakthrough features are always enabled for users in Teams.
- Calendar (includes out of office and other calendar information) integration is always enabled for users when Teams is integrated with Outlook.
- The Last seen or Away since indicator is always enabled for users in Teams if the organization also uses Skype for Business.
Note
The ability of a Teams admin to customize these settings is not currently supported.
Admin settings in Teams compared to Microsoft Outlook
Teams presence in Outlook is supported on the Outlook 2013 desktop app and later for contacts in the same organization.
If the upgrade mode policy of the user account is set to TeamsOnly, Outlook talks to Teams to get presence. If the user account isn't set to TeamsOnly, then Outlook talks to Skype for Business.
Coexistence with Skype for Business
See Coexistence with Skype for Business for details on how Teams presence functions when your organization also uses Skype for Business.
Latest version Released:
An unofficial Python library for interacting with the Skype HTTP API.
Project description
An unofficial Python library for interacting with the Skype HTTP API.
Here be dragons
The upstream APIs used here are undocumented and are liable to change, which may cause parts of this library to fall apart in obvious or non-obvious ways. The gardens between gay. You have been warned.
Requirements
- Python 2.6+ (includes 3.x)
- Responses (for tests)
[1] | Note that Requests no longer supports Python 3.2 – the last working version is 2.10.0. |
Getting started
The documentation gives some examples in more detail, as well as a full API specification, but here are the basics to get you started:
Rate limits and sessions
If you make too many authentication attempts, the Skype API may temporarily rate limit you, or require a captcha to continue. For the latter, you will need to complete this in a browser with a matching IP address.
To avoid this, you should reuse the Skype token where possible. A token only appears to last 24 hours (web.skype.com forces re-authentication after that time), though you can check the expiry with sk.tokenExpiry. Pass a filename as the third argument to the Skype() constructor to read and write session information to that file.
Event processing
Make your class a subclass of SkypeEventLoop, then override the onEvent(event) method to handle incoming messages and other events:
Create an instance and call its loop() method to start processing events. For programs with a frontend (e.g. a custom client), you’ll likely want to put the event loop in its own thread.
Tests and documentation
Unit tests can be found in the test folder – client test cases are designed to test the library’s behaviour and parsing of mocked API responses, whereas server cases connect to the live Skype API.
The SkPy docs repo holds, in addition to docs for this library, a collection of unofficial documentation for the Skype HTTP APIs at large.
