You can send messages that display your name and profile before a string by
beginning a message with `/me`. You can utilize this feature to send status
messages or other messages written in a similar third-person voice.

`/me is now away`, your message will be displayed as:

# Send a status message
Sometimes you want to talk about yourself in third person. Zulip
provides a nice way to do this by sending a message starting with
`/me`, e.g.:
```
/me is going skiing this weekend ⛷
```
Zulip will display your message with the `/me` token replaced by your
name, like this:
![Status message](/static/images/help/status-message.png)
!!! tip ""
Status messages are frequently written in third person, in order to make
them look grammatically coherent.
