# Status and availability
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Status and availability let your teammates know roughly how quickly you'll
|
||
|
|
be responding to messages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A **status** is a customizable message visible to all team members. A
|
||
|
|
typical status might be "in a meeting", "on vacation", or "visiting SF next week".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your **availability** is a colored dot (like <span class="indicator green solid"></span>)
|
||
|
|
that indicates if you're currently active on Zulip, idle,
|
||
|
|
offline, or unavailable. If you're not current active, Zulip also lets your
|
||
|
|
teammates know when you were last active.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Set a status
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Hover over your name in the right sidebar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Click the down chevron (<i class="fa fa-chevron-down"></i>) to the right.
|
||
|
|

|
||

|
{end_tabs}
|
||

|

||
|
|
You can view anyone else's status by hovering over their name in the left or
|
||
|
|
right sidebar, or by clicking their name or avatar in the main message feed. If
|
||
|
|
they haven't set a status, no status will appear.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## About availability
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are four possible availabilities:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* **Active** (<span class="indicator green solid"></span>): Zulip is open and in
|
||
|
|
focus on web, desktop or mobile, or was in the last 140 seconds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* **Idle** (<span class="indicator orange"></span>): Zulip is open on your
|
||
|
|
computer (either desktop or web), but you are not active.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* **Offline** (<span class="indicator grey"></span>): Zulip is not open on
|
||
|
|
your computer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* **Unavailable** (<span class="indicator grey-line"></span>): You can always
|
||
|
|
manually set your availability to unavailable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For [Group PMs](/help/private-messages), a green circle
|
||
|
|
(<span class="indicator green solid"></span>)
|
||
|
|
means all users in the group are active. A pale green circle (<span
|
||
|
|
class="indicator green"></span>) means that some are active and some are
|
||
|
|
not. A white circle (<span class="indicator grey"></span>) means that none
|
||
|
|
are active.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can see when someone was last active by hovering over their name in the
|
||
|
|
left or right sidebar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Set yourself as unavailable
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Hover over your name in the right sidebar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Click the down chevron (<i class="fa fa-chevron-down"></i>) to the right.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Click **Set yourself as unavailable**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will also obscure whether you were recently active.
