The presence display shows the current status of your colleagues—for example **available** or **in a call**. This lets you see at a glance who is reachable. {% tabs %} {% tab title="sipgate classic" %} Under **My telephony** you will find the presence display. It shows which users are available. If someone is in a call, the tile with the internal extension turns red. {% hint style="info" %} Important: All users must have an internal extension. {% endhint %} {% endtab %} {% tab title="sipgate neo" %} The presence display is integrated into the sipgate app. You can see your colleagues’ status in several places: * under Contacts in the sidebar in the Team tab and in the respective contact details * in the Channel under the Availability tab * in the personal channel under the Favorites tab – here you can put together your own availability display with favorite team contacts * in the Omnibar, which opens when you click Start call in the sidebar and search for a team contact **What statuses are there?** The presence display distinguishes between two types of status: global status and channel status. **Global statuses – apply to you as a person, regardless of the channel, and are shown on the avatar:** * Available: You are ready to take calls * In a call: You are currently on the phone * In after-call work: You are in the configured after-call work period * Do not disturb: You have set yourself to "Do not disturb" and cannot be reached by incoming calls * Offline: None of your devices or apps is connected * Unavailable: You are logged out of your personal channel **Channel statuses – apply only to a specific channel:** * Logged in: You are logged into the channel and can take calls there * Logged out: You are logged out of the channel ![HC-Image-sipgate-app-presence-status-overview-DE-min.png](/files/ef20b81a0027675b6aefb0a53f26218248f7ed59) **How is the status displayed?** The status is shown by a colored indicator on the avatar and a label underneath. If someone is logged out of a channel, the avatar is grayed out and labeled "Logged out". ![HC-Image-sipgate-app-presence-status-Channel-status-DE-min(1).png](/files/43082c171239c9efe3130550f1e79254855dc84f) **What affects the status?** Your global status is updated automatically: * You start a call: status changes to In a call * You end a call: you can switch to In after-call work * You log out of all channels: status becomes Offline * You log out of your personal channel: status becomes Unavailable You can also change your status manually, for example to Do not disturb if you want to work without interruptions. **The personal channel** Every user has a personal channel. It is mainly used for internal one-to-one calls. Your availability in this channel is especially important: * Logged into the personal channel + global status Available: you appear as Available (green). * Logged out of the personal channel: you appear as Unavailable, even if you are logged into other channels. {% hint style="info" %} Important: If you are logged out of your personal channel, your colleagues cannot reach you directly via internal calling. You can then only be reached via channels you are logged into. {% endhint %} **When am I available?** You are considered Available when all of the following conditions are met: * You are logged into your personal channel * Your global status is not In a call, In after-call work, Do not disturb, or Offline **Special case: Available in the channel** If you are logged into a shared channel but logged out of your personal channel, your colleagues will see the status "Available in channel" in the corresponding channel. This means: you can take calls in this specific channel, but you cannot be reached via your personal channel. ![HC-Image-sipgate-app-presence-status-in-Channel-available-DE-min.png](/files/7fcec172bfe1a0d2945060a68445b562f448697e) **Set status message** **What is the status message?** The status message is a short text that other users of the same account can see in the desktop app. It does not affect whether you are reachable in your personal channel or a shared channel. **How to set the status message** 1. Open the sipgate desktop app 2. Click the profile picture in the top left 3. Enter your text – maximum 20 characters 4. Confirm the entry Your status message is immediately visible to your team: in the Omnibar, on the contact in the sidebar, and in the availability overview. **Remove status message** Open your profile picture menu and click **delete**. **Who can use the status message?** All users of the sipgate desktop app – regardless of the plan. The status message is currently only available in the desktop app, not in the mobile app or in sipgate Web {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
