Change Your Instant Messaging 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.

To change your status, click a status icon either in the navigation panel or in the sidebar Sametime pane, and then chose a new status. Optionally, select Edit Current Status Message and change any of these standard status messages.
