How do I set my custom status?

The custom status lets you share your current situation with your team right from your profile. You create it yourself by choosing an icon, a message, and a duration. It's visible to the rest of the community on your profile, in People, and in Chats.

To see this option, your admin needs to enable it in Settings.

  • You can set your status from two places: your profile or from your avatar menu in the header (top right).

    1. Click your avatar (top right) and select Update your status.

    1. Pick an icon, write a description (up to 100 characters), and select the duration: 30 min, 1 hour, 4 hours, Today, This week, or a custom date.
    2. You can also choose a suggested status and edit it before saving.
    3. Click Save.

  • When you open the modal, you'll see predefined statuses that already have an icon and duration. When you select one, the fields fill in automatically — you can edit them before saving.

    Status Suggested duration
    🗓️ In a meeting 1 hour
    💡 Focused 4 hours
    🍕 Lunch break 1 hour
    🤒 Sick Today
    🌴 On vacation Custom
  • You can change your status anytime by going back to Update your status and picking a new option.

    To remove it before it expires, use the trash icon in the modal. Your active status will immediately stop showing on your profile, in People, and in Chats.

    When the selected duration ends, the status will be deleted automatically.
