Update presence options to include 'Busy' or 'In a meeting'

When I have an Outlook calendar entry saying I have a meeting from 1 pm to 2 pm, I want the Webex app to set my presence status as "in a meeting" or "Busy".

'Busy' is only triggered if I'm in a meeting using my Webex app. I want "busy" to be triggered by the existence of a calendar entry in Outlook as well. Is this possible?

Currently, if we are physically in a meeting scheduled in Outlook but do not connect via Webex the presence is still 'available'. This leads to people thinking that you are available and will try to ring/chat, etc. when you are actually busy.

    would be very helpful! The correct status should be "in a meeting" if meeting is scheduled in outlook

    FYI, I found some information on gobeta.webex.com, where Abdul Rahman claimed: "This is feature is called "In a Calendar Meeting", this feature is available as Limited Availability (LA). Reachout to your CSM to submit a request to PM to enable this feature."

    would be very helpful! Currently you are available while in a (non-webex) meeting, the correct status should be "in a meeting" like Cisco Jabber does!
