# 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="user-circle user-circle-active zulip-icon zulip-icon-user-circle-active"></span>) that indicates if you're currently active on Zulip, idle,
|
|
or offline. You can also [go invisible](#invisible-mode) to appear offline
|
|
to other users.
|
|
|
|

## Availability
|
|
|
|
There are three availability states:
|
|
|
|
* **Active** (<span class="user-circle user-circle-active zulip-icon
|
|
zulip-icon-user-circle-active"></span>): Zulip is open and in focus on web,
|
|
desktop or mobile, or was in the last 140 seconds.
|
|
|
|
* **Idle** (<span class="user-circle user-circle-idle zulip-icon
|
|
zulip-icon-user-circle-idle"></span>): Zulip is open on your computer (either
|
|
desktop or web), but you are not active.
|
|
|
|
* **Offline** (<span class="user-circle user-circle-offline zulip-icon
|
|
zulip-icon-user-circle-offline"></span>): Zulip is not open on your computer,
|
|
or you have turned on invisible mode.
|
|
|
|
### View availability
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{tab|desktop-web}
|
|
|
|
1. View a user's availability on the [user list](/help/user-list) in the right
|
|
sidebar, the [direct messages](/help/direct-messages) list in the left
|
|
sidebar, or their [user card](/help/user-cards). If there is no availability
|
|
indicator, the user is offline.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
You can see when someone offline was last active by hovering over their
|
|
name in the left or right sidebar.
|
|
|
|
{tab|mobile}
|
|
|
|
1. Tap on a user's profile picture or name. Their availability appears to the
|
|
left of their name on their profile.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
### Invisible mode
|
|
|
|
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**, 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 approximate time you enabled this setting.
|
|
Your activity will still be included in your organization's [statistics](/help/analytics).
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
Consider also [not
|
|
allowing](/help/read-receipts#configure-whether-zulip-lets-others-see-when-youve-read-messages)
|
|
other users to see when you have read messages.
|
|
|
|
### Toggle invisible mode
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{tab|desktop-web}
|
|
|
|
{!self-user-card.md!}
|
|
|
|
1. To enable, you'll select **Go invisible**.
|
|
|
|
1. To disable, you'll select **Turn off invisible mode**.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""

You can also toggle this setting in the **Account & privacy**
|
|
tab of your **Personal settings** menu.
