Software and TechnologySoftware Feature Gap2MildUser

Microsoft Teams mobile app shows the user as active even during out-of-office hours, and the browser version lacks a control to manually switch presence status between mobile and laptop.

Teams automatically determines presence based on device activity, without giving users manual control over status across devices. This leads to incorrect availability indications and potential unwanted interruptions.
