By default, Microsoft Lync 2013/Skype for Business 2015 enable users to set their presence to one of the following six statuses:
But Administrators can provide
users with another option for setting their presence: Appear Offline. When user
selects this option, he or she appears to user(s) offline. In fact, all of the
user's contacts see a presence icon indicating the user is offline. For the
users to have the option of "Appear Offline" you must create a new
registry key and registry value on the computer running Microsoft Lync 2013/Skype for Business 2015.
For this option that I'm showing is per user or machine setting only, not a
Global Setting.
