Sync RC status with Microsoft Office (Teams/Outlook)
We use our Teams status when we are in calls and meetings. We set it to let our team know we are away from our desk on lunch or breaks. Using RC, when a team member wants to transfer a call, it is not practical for them to check Teams first every time before transferring.
We want them to just look at the RC HUD and choose who is available.
Also, we could be calling or trying to contact a member via Teams and not realize they are in a phone call on RC.
We did sync our calendar presence with RC, but this ONLY helps when we are booked into a meeting, not for all the above scenarios. We want RC to recognize Office Status.
MAY 5 2022 UPDATE - Can we please revisit this or have an updated provided? This is still something we very much need put in place.

Future consideration
I heard from our sales team, they do have an option but want to charge 4.50 a physical phone to do it. I hope that is not the RC model going forward on new features, that will price them out of our company.
Hello RC team, this sync is key when we want to sell the great integration with Teams.
Here in Europe Teams is everywhere and we have a great opportunity to position RC on top of teams.
But the fact that the user status is not synched is a handicap when we try to sell the integration.
Agreed, our organization would love to have this feature. We were told it would integrate and sync with Teams, so we assumed that meant it would recognize our Teams status but we continually get RC calls when we are already on a Teams call.
Would love this! I have added RC into my Teams app hoping that connection would allow us to share our status from RC to Teams & vice versa, but sadly it is not an option yet.
Thank You

Would like the Status accessible across the Microsoft application stack.
