At my workplace we use a program called OfficeStatus to track whether someone is on, off, or WFH. Unfortunately, it’s losing support at the end of the year and we’re anticipating a windows update breaking it at some point.
Are there any alternatives out there that have AD integration to import users, are free or one time fee, and self hosted of course?
I’ve been trying to write an app that integrates with MS teams status, but I’ve been racking my brain trying to deal with authentication states.
PowerApps + PowerAutomate then? If you have such licenses and wanna go native MS then this works like a charm, even on mobile. Doesnt take long to prepare, i think it is even a PA example that MS has. Ill try to find it.
Edit: I know this is a selfhosted community but MS tools work well with MS tools :D
Tldr - in PowerApps you design the form and buttons, which set a value on a sharepoint list, after which you can set up the view as shown on the vid ive shared. I wish i could help more, but my PowerApps/Automate knowledge is limited.

I think there’s an Odoo module that does this. Might be overkill for just that, though.
Afaik, MS Teams now has a native status thing, which shows you as either in Office or WfH. Would that suffice?
Edit: it doesn’t show up on my iOS app, so maybe it is on desktops only.
Ah, should have mentioned that in my post. We’re also looking for being able to view the status of all users at once.

Never tried PA, but we have the licences, if it’s that easy I would really appreciate it.
Honestly I cant find the exact one, but Reza Dorrani probably has this in his vids or you can go with something like this:

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
I’m interested in this as well. Not for keeping up with an office but for keeping up with which family members are out of the house.
