If you have any key depressed, for any reason, including but not limited to having taped a key (eg. ctrl) down, Teams will register you as "available", rather than "away".

I don't understand. Why would I tape ctrl down?

So you can walk away from your desk, I assume.

Note that the trick doesn’t work on Linux, or at least hasn’t for me. My presence just doesn’t work and I’m always yellow lol

Microsoft still pretending Linux doesn't exist I see.

But it also balances that by not automatically changing your status on random even if it should. Including setting status to 'busy' when you're on another meeting, showing you offline when you're available and so on. On our team the availability status is pretty much useless and we rely on chat responses on what the current actual status might be.
