surfaced semanticallyTeams Auto-Changes Presence Status Based on Cursor Inactivity
Microsoft Teams automatically marks users as Away or Out of Office based on cursor movement rather than notification settings, overriding user preferences. Enterprise workers report this enables micromanagement and misrepresents their availability. The platform provides no reliable way to maintain a persistent Available status.
Microsoft Teams Presence Status Doesn't Sync Between Mobile and Desktop

This status-sync failure has real workplace consequences, as employees can appear unavailable or misrepresented to coworkers.

Because status visibility affects how coworkers perceive availability, this presence-detection bug has workplace credibility implications beyond a simple UI nuisance.
Microsoft Teams Presence Status Shows Offline for Active Users

The presence indicator fails to reflect actual activity, causing unnecessary follow-up pings and availability confusion. This is a known product-level defect rather than a market gap.
