Presence APIs return two key parameters: availability and activity.

  • Availability is basic presence information that returns values such as Available, Busy, Away, and so on.
  • Activity is supplemental information about a user’s availability, such as InACall, InAMeeting, OutofOffice, and so on.

For a list of the possible values that are returned, see the presence resource topic.
These values are aligned with the Teams presence states.

Happy coding!
