[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My TEAMS will show I’m offline when I am actively working. It’s not fool proof[/quote]

Also when I’m on a phone call, that’s not through Teams. Which I get a lot of.

I’d stop looking at people’s statues. Focus on responsiveness. [/quote]

ICYMI: it’s not just teams. Outlook tracks when your laptop is on.

Our office ditched landlines and mobile phones. Our work phones are through our laptops. [/quote]

You are wrong about a couple of things here.

- this is Teams functionality, not Outlook functionality.  Outlook displays status, but it’s Teams functionality.

- Teams shows users as online they  have Teams open and their computer is connected to the internet.  If you close teams (kill the process, not just close the screen) or disconnect from the Internet it will report you as offline.  Also, when your computer is sleeping (not just turned off).

And how often are you working without the internet?

Most people login and connect to wifi to access email, even if it’s running in the background/minimized. I never use teams unless I’m on a call, but it pops up if someone is trying to reach me.

If your status is offline for 15 hours, then you haven’t been online. Zero chance you are working without the internet. And who thinks it’s okay to not monitor email or teams all day?

Passively checking email on your phone while you watch Netflix or grocery shop isn’t working. I can’t believe you people don’t get it. [/quote]

I get it. I said I can have my system up and running at home and check my email while doing errands. I didn’t say I was working. I said you can’t tell if I’m working by checking if I am online or off or seeing how quickly I respond to your email.

So why are you wasting your energy worrying about something you can’t know?
