# Status and availability
|
|
|
|
Status and availability let everyone know roughly how quickly you'll be
|
|
responding to messages.
|
|
|
|
A **status** is a customizable emoji, along with a short message. A typical
|
|
status might be "📅 In a meeting" or "🏠 Working remotely". To make it easy to
|
|
notice, the status emoji is shown next to your name in the sidebars, message
|
|
feed, and compose box.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## Statuses
|
|
|
|
### Set a status
|
|
|
|
You can set a status emoji, status message, or both.
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{tab|desktop-web}
|
|
|
|
{!self-user-actions-menu.md!}
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Set a status**.
|
|
|
|
1. Click to select one of the common statuses, *or* choose any emoji and/or
|
|
write a short message.
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Save**.
|
|
|
|
{tab|mobile}
|
|
|
|
{!mobile-profile-menu.md!}
|
|
|
|
1. Tap **Set a status**.
|
|
|
|
1. Tap to select one of the common statuses, *or* choose any emoji and/or
|
|
write a short message.
|
|
|
|
1. Tap **Save**.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
### View a status
|
|
|
|
Status emoji are shown next to a user's name in the sidebars, message feed,
|
|
and compose box.
|
|
|
|
You can view status messages by hovering over your or anyone else's name in the
|
|
left or right sidebar, or by clicking the user's name or avatar in the main
|
|
message feed. If someone hasn't set a message as part of their status, then no
|
|
status message will appear.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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}
|
|
|
|
{tab|desktop-web}
|
|
|
|
{!self-user-actions-menu.md!}
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Set yourself as unavailable**.
|
|
|
|
{tab|mobile}
|
|
|
|
{!mobile-profile-menu.md!}
|
|
|
|
1. Toggle **Set yourself to away**.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
You can also use the same menu to mark yourself as available again.
|
|
|
|
### 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|account-and-privacy}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Privacy**, 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.
