Presence

The Presence window provides a quick way to check the availability of your co-workers. This is done via their Telephone system extension status (BLF-Busy Lamp Field) or, if enabled, via a blended combination of Telephone system extension status and Microsoft Teams Availability status.

In either Tray mode or AppBar mode, the Presence window can be re-sized and docked to the right or left edge of the screen using the dock "pin" icon.
