Teams will never change your status from \u201cDo not disturb,\u201d so you\u2019ll need to remember to change it back to \u201cAvailable\u201d yourself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be right back:<\/strong> (The yellow circle) indicates that you\u2019re temporarily away and will be back soon. It looks identical to \u201cAway,\u201d but when your colleagues hover over your profile, they\u2019ll see that you\u2019re set to \u201cBe right back\u201d rather than \u201cAway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Appear away:<\/strong> (The yellow circle) is identical to \u201cAway\u201d and \u201cBe right back,\u201d and gives other people the impression that Teams doesn\u2019t have your focus. You\u2019ll still get message notifications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Appear offline:<\/strong> (The white circle with an \u201cx\u201d in it) gives other people the impression that you\u2019re not signed in to Teams. You\u2019ll still get message notifications. As with \u201cAppear away,\u201d you need to make sure that this won\u2019t give the impression that you\u2019re not actually working, so perhaps discuss it with the rest of your team and manager so that you\u2019ll all use it in the same way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
