Changing your status

Availability of this feature depends on the Bria solution you subscribe to.

Available in: Teams.

Not available in: Solo.

Bria allows you to share your online status (presence) with team members. When you launch Bria, your online status in Available.

You can change your status from Available to Away, Busy, On The Phone, Do Not Disturb, or Appear Offline. When you change your status from Available or specify a custom status note, your status remains as specified until you update it yourself. Bria updates your status to On The Phone when you make or receive a phone call if your status is Available and you have not entered anything into Custom Note.

  1. In Bria, tap Menu in the top left corner.

  2. Tap the avatar icon.

    The list of available status options appears in Presence Status.

  3. Tap the status option you want to use.

    Status options and "Custom Note" are in "Presence Status".

  4. Tap Back or tap the Android Back button. On Android tablet, tap outside of the presence pop-up.

    Bria updates your status.

Icon

My Presence

Mean that …

Available

People can call you and send you an IM. If no custom status note is specified, Bria automatically switches Available to On The Phone when you make or receive calls.

Away

People can call you and send you an IM.

Busy

People can call you and send you an IM.

On The Phone

When you make or receive phone calls, Bria automatically updates your status to On The Phone if your status is Available and no custom note is specified. When your call finishes, your status goes back to Available.

While you are on the phone, you can still send and receive IMs.

Do Not Disturb (DND)

No one can call you; the call fails and your History shows a missed call. Your team members can send you IM; an alert comes up on the Messaging tab without any sound.

Appear Offline

You can see the presence status of your team members but your team members see you as offline. You receive phone calls and IMs if your team members do contact you; they are unlikely to do so because your team members cannot tell the difference between Appear Offline and you really being offline.

Any

Custom Note

You can choose any of the other status options. Your team members see the status icon with your custom status note.

    Bria updates the text in your status to your Custom Note. You can choose any of the status options available. Your team members see the wording from Custom Note and the status icon from the status you choose.

Deleting a custom status note

When you delete a custom status note and set your status to Available, Bria automatically switches Available to On The Phone when you make or receive calls.

  1. In Bria, tap Menu in the top left corner.

  2. Tap the avatar icon. The list of available status options appears in Presence Status.

  3. Tap the X Clear Text beside your custom status.
