For remote and hybrid teams

See when your remote team is online, and for how long.

When everyone works apart, the green dot is all you see. It shows one moment, not the whole story. Presify tracks Teams presence for the whole team, in each person’s own time zone, and keeps the history. You can see who’s green for hours without a break, and who’s online late into the evening.

The question the green dot can’t answer

Who is online, when, and how much?

Teams shows only the current status and offers no presence history to look back on. A glance at 10 a.m. in New York tells you nothing about the person in Denver, or the one who does their best work at night. Presify samples presence on a short, regular interval, keeps every change, and turns it into a record per person and per team. Your read on the team comes from the pattern, not a glance.

Presence that looks gamed

A long stretch online with no idle time is worth a look.

Automatic flags surface presence that looks gamed, including the patterns a mouse jiggler or keep-alive script tends to leave, like a long stretch online with no idle time. Every flag shows how it is calculated.

Coverage you can plan around

See where time zones overlap, and which hours go uncovered.

Once you can see who’s online and when, plan around it: where time zones overlap, and which hours go uncovered, judged in each person’s local time.

Each bar is one member’s working hours on a single EDT day; where they stack is when your team overlaps.

History length, which flags run, and the coverage view depend on your plan. Coverage and overlap come with Pro and Scale. See pricing for what each tier includes.

Quick and light

The lightweight way to track a remote team

“Managing a distributed or hybrid team means balancing visibility with trust, and at some point, timesheets stop being enough.”
G2 Learn Hub article, 2026

Most monitoring software installs an agent on every laptop and records screens. Presify reads the presence Teams already has: nothing to install, no screenshots, no keystrokes, no message content. Setup is one read-only Microsoft sign-in, and because it reads Teams rather than the laptop, it covers every device your team uses Teams on. It is worth comparing directly: see Presify vs ActivTrak and Presify vs Teramind.

5min

About five minutes from sign-in to tracking.

1

Read-only Microsoft sign-in, by a Microsoft 365 admin.

0

Installs on anyone’s laptop or phone.

7days

Free trial, no credit card. The trial tracks just you.

What Presify reads

  • Teams presence and activity
  • Names and groups
  • Outlook time zone and working hours

What it never reads

  • Messages
  • Chats
  • Call content
  • Files
  • Calendar content
  • Screens
  • Keystrokes

Every plan also includes a read-only AI assistant connector: ask Claude, ChatGPT, or Microsoft Copilot who was online yesterday and for how long, in plain language.

How it works

Before you connect

Is Presify right for your team?

Best fit

  • You manage a remote, hybrid, or multi-location team and want to know who’s online, when, and how much.
  • You want Teams presence history, online-time trends, and flags for presence that looks gamed, without rolling out software.
  • You are comfortable telling your team that their Teams presence is tracked, and using it to start conversations.

Not the right tool for

  • You need screenshots, keystroke logging, app and URL tracking, or timesheets.
  • You want a productivity score or a tool that decides whether someone was working.
  • You need to track people located in the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, or Canada.

Presence isn’t productivity

Presify gives you a directional read on when people are online and how much, and flags patterns worth a look. A flag is a pattern, not proof, so what you do with it starts with a conversation. Tell your team their Teams presence is tracked before you start: some US states require advance written notice, and Presify includes a ready-to-adapt employee-notice template.

For the principle in full, read a fair way to track remote work hours, or see how to know when your remote team is actually available.

Where your people can be

Presify is built and hosted in the US, and it can track people in most countries except the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, and Canada. Anyone whose Microsoft 365 directory location is set to one of those is excluded automatically, and guest accounts are never tracked. Wherever your people are, your organization is responsible for notice, a lawful basis, and the local laws that apply to them. Customers need a US billing address.
