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.

    Please add this feature so we can use these like we did for Skype for Business. Really moving quickly to "Teams-Only" across all our teams, and it would greatly help.

    Our company has been patiently waiting for the integration with Teams. Until it does we will continue to use Skype for Business.

    We need this to work with the Kuando BusyLights or else we can't transition off Skype for Business!

    Yes! to BlyncLight. It's essential for our IT and CS departments (we all have headsets and without Blynclight, people just start yapping at you while you're on the phone with an important customer!)

    Please make Teams presence available within the API not just to query my own status, but others status as well (as can be done with Skype for Business). I've got plans to develop tools to integrate my team members presence onto other devices, such as several Blynclight cubes on top of my monitor, Corsair RGB devices (mouse keyboard, mousepad), Elgato Stream Deck buttons, Embrava RGB headset, etc.

    Yes to Blynclight please! They are helpful to see if someone is on the phone or presenting.

    The ability to use Blynclight is very helpful to alert personnel that you are either on the phone or busy. Do not take away this capability.

    Yes to Blynclight please! We use them in our call center and they've been a HUGE help!

    This has been a great add-on for Skype so that people around me can see if I am on a call or not. The small indicators on headsets are normally only visible from one direction. Please update Teams to allow the ability to share the status with Blynclight.

    C'mon Microsoft - being able to see if someone if free or busy is critical to reaching out to the right person at the right time.
