Status indications

Status icons are an unobtrusive way to indicate whether a user is busy, on a call, in a meeting, etc. They appear beside a user’s name and help identify the current status of the user.

The only status icons that can be implemented are the ‘Away’ and ‘Do not disturb/Busy’ icons.  If a user enables the ‘Do not disturb’ status, they will no longer receive chat or call notifications.

To change your status, click on the profile picture in the top right corner and select the appropriate status from the drop-down list:

You can set your status as ‘Away’, which prevents other users contacting you.  You can also set ‘Do not disturb’ for a defined time period, with options selected following selection of the Do not disturb entry:

There are some status marks that are applied automatically by Zoom – for instance when there is a problem.  The full list of possible indicators is:
