Skype for business not going into 'Meeting' status but 'Busy'?

[Actual_Criminal]

I have noticed on my work laptop that around 50% of my meetings on Outlook don't automatically turn my Skype for business status to 'Meeting' and it just changes it to 'Busy'.

 

This happens when I actually JOIN a meeting. For example, if we schedule a Microsoft Teams meeting, it goes in the calendar in Outlook and once I join that meeting, my Skype will go into 'Meeting'.

 

However, lets say I schedule a meeting in Outlook for 1pm but it doesn't involve an actual 'Meeting' in Skype/Microsoft Teams but something like a real-life meeting or 1-to-1 etc, at the dedicated meeting time at 1pm, the status doesn't change to 'Meeting'.

 

Any idea on how to resolve this? 

 

(Or even manually set it to 'Meeting'? The only options I have available to manually set are Available, Busy, Away, Do Not Disturb, Be Right Back and Off Work.)

your calendars are most likely synced, so if microsoft teams can see you're in a meeting and your outlook calendar says "meeting at 13:00" then it probably applies the "meeting" status, but outlook can't see that you're in a skype call or microsoft teams call so it doesn't set your status to meeting, but because you have something scheduled it sets the status as busy.

 

at least i think it's a possibility.
