Nextcloud stuck on “In Meeting” status from startup – how to fix?

Hello everyone,

I’m experiencing a persistent issue with my Nextcloud setup: whenever I start my PC, my status is automatically set to “In Meeting” instead of “Online.” Even if I manually change it to “Online,” it switches back to “In Meeting” after a few minutes. Here are the details and what I’ve tried so far:

  • Environment:

    • Nextcloud AIO Hub 9 – Version: 10.6.1 (latest update)
    • Nextcloud Desktop Client (Linux, Arch-based) – Version: 3.15.3
    • Nextcloud Talk (Linux, Arch-based) – Version: 1.1.5
    • Browsers: Firefox and Brave (latest)
    • OS: CachyOS (Arch-based)

  • What’s happening:

    1. On PC startup, my Nextcloud status immediately shows “In Meeting.”
    2. I have the Nextcloud Desktop Client running for file synchronization.
    3. I also use the separate Nextcloud Talk desktop application.
    4. Additionally, the Nextcloud web interface is open in my browser.
    5. Even if I manually change my status to “Online,” it eventually reverts back to “In Meeting” after a few minutes, despite not being on any call.

  • Troubleshooting steps so far:

    1. Checked for any ongoing calls in Talk (web and desktop) and made sure I disconnected all sessions.
    2. Attempted to manually change my status to “Online” or “Away,” but it reverts to “In Meeting.”
    3. Logged out of Nextcloud Talk and the web interface, cleared cookies/cache, then logged back in – no change.
    4. Verified that everything (server and apps) is up to date.
    5. Reviewed installed apps/integrations in Nextcloud but found no obvious culprit.

Has anyone else encountered a situation where the status defaults to “In Meeting” at startup and reverts to it after manually switching back to “Online”? Any known solutions, workarounds, or server configurations I should check? If you’ve resolved a similar issue, I’d really appreciate your insights!
