Getting started with Presence

Add Presence as a tab #

Go to the Microsoft Teams channel where you want to add Presence, click the plus symbol to add a tab, search for “Presence,” and select Presence in the list of available apps.

Manage Settings #

To open settings, click the “Settings” button in the top navigation bar:

Here, you can view and change the following settings:

1. Categories: These are the categories available to team members when they register a new presence. You can create a new category by writing it in the “New category” field and pressing enter or clicking the plus button. You can also specify the category’s color and whether it requires approval. Some default categories are given in the application’s initial setup based on your language.
2. Approvers: Here, you can choose team members that will be given the approver role. Approvers can approve requests with categories marked for approval, register presence for other users, and manage other members’ registrations. At least one approver is required if one or more categories are marked for approval.
3. Notifications: By enabling the “Teams Activity notifications,” approvers will receive a Teams Activity notification when a user requests approval, and the user receive a notification when approvers process the request.

Click the “Save” button to save your changes.
