Activating the ‘out of office’ status within Cisco WebEx Teams is an easy task achievable in a handful of steps. Regardless if you’re heading off for a holiday, taking a day off due to illness, or just require a break from work duties, updating your status to “out of office” effectively communicates to your team members that you won’t be available to reply to messages or answer calls.
Step 1: Log in to Cisco WebEx Teams
The first step in setting out of office in Cisco WebEx Teams is to log in to your account. You can do this by opening the app on your device or accessing it through a web browser.
Step 2: Go to Your Profile
Once you are logged in, click on your profile picture in the top right corner of the screen. This will take you to your profile page.
Step 3: Click on “Out of Office”
On your profile page, you will see a section labeled “Out of Office.” Click on this section to access the settings for setting out of office.
Step 4: Set Your Start and End Dates
In the “Out of Office” section, you will be able to set your start and end dates. This will determine when your status will change to “out of office” and when it will return to normal.
Step 5: Add a Message
You can also add a message that will be displayed to your colleagues when they try to contact you while you are out of office. This message can include information about why you are away, who to contact in your absence, or any other relevant details.
Once you have set your start and end dates and added a message, click on the “Save” button to save your changes. Your status will now be set to “out of office” until the end date you specified.
Conclusion
Setting out of office in Cisco WebEx Teams is a simple process that can help you manage your workload and communicate with your colleagues when you are unavailable. By following these steps, you can ensure that your status is set correctly and that your colleagues know when to expect you back.
