# 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 ellipsis (<i class="zulip-icon ellipsis-v-solid"></i>) to the right.
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Set a status message**.
|
|
|
|
1. Set a status messages and click **Save**.
|
|
|
|
{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 recorded as active by hovering over
|
|
their name in the left or right sidebar (even if the user is marked as
|
|
unavailable).
|
|
|
|
## Set yourself as unavailable
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
1. Hover over your name in the right sidebar.
|
|
|
|
1. Click the ellipsis (<i class="zulip-icon ellipsis-v-solid"></i>) to the right.
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Set yourself as unavailable**.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
## Disable updating availability
|
|
|
|
Zulip supports the privacy option of never updating the availability
|
|
information for your account. The result is that you will always
|
|
appear to other users as **Offline** (or **Unavailable**, if you've
|
|
set an appropriate status), regardless of your activity in Zulip.
|
|
|
|
With this setting, your "Last active" time displayed to other users in
|
|
the UI will be frozen as the time you enabled this setting.
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|notifications}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Other notification settings**, in the **Presence**
|
|
subsection, toggle **Display my availability to other users**.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
Note that because this setting works by making your availability stop
|
|
updating, you'll still appear to other users as active for a few
|
|
minutes after disabling updates to your availability.
