# 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,
|
|
or offline. You can also [go invisible](#invisible-mode) to appear offline
|
|
to other users.
|
|
|
|
## Statuses

## Availability
|
|
|
|
There are three availability states:
|
|
|
|
* **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, or you have turned on invisible mode.
|
|
|
|
You can see when someone offline was last active by hovering over their
|
|
name in the left or right sidebar.
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
!!! 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.
|
|
|
|
