Status does not update (New Teams)
Hi, We've been testing the new Teams before we roll it out more widely. We have noticed that your status does not update consistently with the new Teams, as in, here is one scenario as an example I'm showing as available and somebody calls me (working well at this point) I pick up the call and when I do I show as busy (still all going well) I present during the call and the status changes to do not disturb (so far so good still) I end the call, but my status stays as do not disturb indefinitely until I click on reset status. (this is the behaviour that didn't used to happen in classic Teams) All throughout the above I did not manually change my status; it was just updating automatically as my activity changed, but did not update in the end when my call ended. Is anyone else experiencing this and is there a way to fix this? Thanks, AndreaThank you, Community! We've reached 200K Members!
Thank you - all 200k of you - for being a part of the Microsoft Teams space here in the Microsoft Technical Community. The world has changed quite a bit over the last year and Teams has played a significant part in allowing us to stay connected both personally and professionally. Many people experienced virtual meetings for the first time this year and many conducted their business 100% online for the first time, ever. The pace in which the world went virtual was quick and change management processes were challenged for many. Those of you in this space challenged our engineering team to shift gears to accomplish what was important to you in these changing times, you kept your own organizations up to date and kept things running, but most importantly - you supported one another, you leaned on one another, and you reached out when you needed community most. It's been an exciting 3+ years watching this community grow but I can honestly say that seeing a 600% increase in activity these past few months and the rate at which you came together to join the Teams engineering team to help one another was incredible. Thank you for being here. Thank you for providing input and sharing stories and explaining your scenarios so we can create a product that enables you to do your best collaboration. Thank you for contributing to the Microsoft Teams community. On behalf of Microsoft Teams Engineering, Cheers to all 200k of you! Here's to a safe, healthy, productive 2021. #CommunityRocks Laurie Pottmeyer, Microsoft Teams Community Lead Therese Solimeno, Microsoft Teams Community ManagerTeams Scavenger Hunts: A Simple, Fun Way to Get Your Team Collaborating

Rolling out Microsoft Teams to Executives
I've recently been asked about best practices for rolling out Microsoft Teams to Executives. I'd love to start the conversation here in the community to see what others have done to see success and ensure your execs experience is a positive one. At Microsoft, we had a team that drove a white glove training experience for Execs and their Admins to make sure they were comfortable with and saw the value in Teams. Their teams also were given access to start using Teams so they could see benefits in collaborating as a whole, immediately. Ensuring leadership and just as important, their support staff, knows how to use the technology properly is key to seeing successful adoption. We've also worked hard to make sure the Executive Meeting rooms were all updated and ready to support Microsoft Teams prior to rolling out Teams to those teams. What have you done that has worked well to onboard your leadership teams to Microsoft Teams (or even strategies that have worked with other technology)?How to use the New Calendar in Teams
The new Calendar app in Microsoft Teams aims to provide a unified and seamless calendar experience for both Teams and Outlook users. It introduces advanced features such as a new command bar with primary actions, the ability to Meet Now and Join with ID, and new functionalities like filters, month view, split view, customizable time scales, saved views, sharing options, printing capabilities, and personalized settings. Enhanced meeting creation allows for quick scheduling from the calendar's quick view or the new scheduling form, with improved options and a refreshed look. Users can access meeting artifacts directly from the calendar, including recaps of completed meetings. The app also integrates weather information for your current location and work plan integration with Microsoft Places, allowing you to specify work locations and check teammates' availability in the office. The Place Finder feature helps you switch between floors and view different room capabilities when creating new events. Additionally, you can pop out the calendar for more efficient multitasking by right-clicking the Calendar icon. This feature is enabled by default.
