The team is happy to announce that this functionality is now available through the Presence Graph API which is now in public Beta! We have additional functionality planned for the API so please keep checking back for updates.

Please note that this is a beta version of the API and may be subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported.

Enjoy!

    +1 for Presence API. We rely on kuando BusyLights and can't consider a Teams move from Skype for Business without Presence support.

  • Gana commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    A complete suite of Presence related API would be helpful to build more client oriented applications and track our Organization users. Request you to please include this at the earliest.

    With new coexistence set up options between SfB & MTeams, does this mean Embrava Blynclight or Kuando Busylight can be used w Teams?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    We will have several hundred thousand users on Teams in the near future and would like to see this API support products such as the kuando Busylight and Embrava Blynclight.

    +1 for the core requirement. If I could pile on: The ability to see if camera and mic are live is also important for the best possible status-light capability. These were observable in the S4B client API, and it really helped my implementation of a client-status-indicator. (E.g. Yellow was in call and muted with Red as in call with either microphone or camera live.)

  • Anon Y. Mous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    + several hundred on this! We had invested in these while using S4B (and other platforms). I would assume MS very much wants to deliver this and I'm shocked it's not already there!

    Since Teams does not have a secondary ringer, we need an API for Teams to do Visual indicator and Audio alerting.

    My company has hundreds of these devices but we can't use them anymore since Teams replaced Skype for Business. Please add this feature!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please do this. My company recently forced us to switch from S4B to Teams, and the loss of my Blynclight is obnoxious.

  • Wayne Stuebing commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This is one of the items that is holding us back form using teams as a phone platform today. How this did not happen when PSTN was added is a huge mistake.

    This is also needed to be able to do a good Customer Care application using Teams.
