Managing Your Online Status
Your online status tells other people if you are available for online chats and instant meetings. Each online status is indicated by a unique icon and a customizable online status message.
If your online status is Active, Away, or Do Not Disturb, your name appears in green text in the contact list to indicate that you are logged on to Sametime Connect. When you are Offline, your name appears in black text to indicate that you are not logged on.
The table below describes the types of online status:
