Design Limitation on Microsoft Teams Web Client

The Teams Web Client currently has a known limitation that sends a lot of incorrect status updates especially when refreshing the page in your browser. This has a noticeable impact on how Stratus Agent handles Agent presence, availability and reporting features.  

Causes and Workarounds

Microsoft treats web-based Teams Clients presence status changes differently and with seemingly lower priority. The effects include:

  • User sporadically appearing as offline.
  • Spontaneous switch to an erratic presence status which is apparent in logfiles.
  • Multiple status updates within only a few seconds, which increases when user is refreshing the Teams chat window within the browser.

→ Until this is resolved by Microsoft we strongly advise to exclusively use a locally installed Teams Client App for all productive users of your organization.

Highly Customizable Frontend

The Web FrontEnd of Stratus Agent is highly customizable, allowing you to create team Walls with Frontend Widgets and Groups completely to your liking, showcasing either agent or service related details at a glance with only relevant columns and data displayed according to your preference.

CRM Integration

When a CRM, ERP, or ticket system is integrated with Stratus Agent, customer-specific information is displayed directly in a context window or launched via URL when calls or chats are accepted. An URL or external App may also be opened directly for agents upon receiving a call.
