How to

Choose your chat profile and sharing settings

Set your profile and availability while deciding which activity signals teammates can see.

  1. 1

    In the native app, open Settings → Chat profile. Set your photo, timezone, and working hours, and choose whether to share your working hours.

  2. 2

    Set an away message and end time when needed; use Clear away status when you return. Turn on Automatic calendar status only if you want to share In a meeting, Focusing, or Busy.

    Automatic calendar status shares an availability label, not event names, locations, attendees, or links.

  3. 3

    Return to Settings to choose Read receipts and Chat activity independently. Read receipts let people see when you opened their messages; activity sharing shows when you are active where the business allows it.

  4. 4

    On supported iPhones, open Notification settings to choose Share iPhone Focus status. Your iPhone settings still decide which alerts can interrupt you.

Worth knowing

  • An unavailable business feature may hide or disable a control. A missing activity indicator does not establish that somebody is offline or has not read a message.
