Status does not update when call is finished

[dinki]

I’ve been using this for about a month and it works well, but I am getting an issue where my status is not going back to ‘Not in a call’ when I close out a call. I have to kill Teams and reopen it to get things synced again.

Has anyone run into this? Any ideas on troubleshooting? It does not happen every time but it does happen fairly often (at least once per day).

I've seen this happening because of the increased logging of the client. Have you picked or noticed the increased amount of lines that is being gathered by the script?

@EBOOZ Apologies for this, but can you tell me where to find the logging you're mentioning?

[EBOOZ]

This is the code in the script: $TeamsStatus = Get-Content -Path "C:\Users\$UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\logs.txt" -Tail 1000 | Select-String -Pattern 'Setting the taskbar overlay icon -', 'StatusIndicatorStateService: Added' | Select-Object -Last 1

Get-Content searches in the logs.txt file for certain phrases. It tails the logfile for the last 1000 lines (in the latest version of the script).

Thanks for the speedy response. I'll give it a look.

I may also need to update the script. Is that a matter of just updating the code in c:\scripts and rebooting?

If you are already using the separated Settings.ps1 file, then it's just replacing the Get-TeamsStatus.ps1 script. Otherwise you'll need to copy/past the information from your old Get-TeamsStatus.ps1 version to Settings.ps1, and then use the latest version.

I had the same issue. I increased the tail size to 10000 and the problem went away

@pswarts Thanks for posting this. I've made the change and so far the problem has gone away for me as well.

@EBOOZ I'm not sure of the mechanism, but perhaps this could be explored for the sake of others using your script?

Thanks to you both!

Is this fixed with #36 or #38?
