Current limitation: Android Collaboration App vs Outlook Calendar

  • It is not recommended to enable option “User status when talking on mobile” on Android Collaboration App (Advanced Settings) in case of using Outlook Calendar Integration: after completing a mobile call, user status might not be able to go back to its previous state due to the Outlook Calendar sync, and might remain incorrect.
