Answer

Yes, 8x8 provides Azure applications which enable presence status sync from Microsoft Teams to 8x8 Work applications, and presence status sync for On Call status of 8x8 Work application users to Microsoft Teams.
See the following article for installation, requirements, and other information: 8x8 Presence Sync with Microsoft Teams.

Additional Information
