Setting status manually can be tough to remember across multiple applications. It would be great if Discourse could connect to Outlook so that status could be set automatically when a user has out of office calendar events.

Would also love this. Because the calendars are linked, I would consider getting the info from MSTeams as well.
@jordan-violet did you have an idea in mind regarding implementation? Personally I would prefer to avoid going through central IT, so was thinking of pulling calendar information from outlook via cli or a powershell script

For us, we’d need an Oauth/enterprise implementation so we can have it connected through IT. Basically the inverse of your request

I think realistically we would go a similar way too, I just dread the journey of going through our multiple IT teams to get these kind of things done. For me a hacky, “can I get 90% of the functionality without going through IT” solution would also be good, but I fully support the intention here of a more comprehensive and long term approach.

I need that adoption and buy-in across the business though
