# Setting the Presence Status

You can set your current presence status to indicate your availability for a call to other users.

How to set the current presence status:

<div class="task" id="bkmrk-click-the-my-account"><div class="procedure">1. Click the <span class="guibutton">**My account**</span> icon on the right side of the menu bar.
2. Select a presence status below <span class="guibutton">**Availability**</span>. You have the following options:
    
    
    - <span class="guibutton">**Online**</span>. You are signed in and can be contacted.
    
    
    - <span class="guibutton">**Absent**</span>. You are currently absent and can not be contacted.
    
    
    - <span class="guibutton">**Busy**</span>. You do not want to be disturbed, e.g. if you are in a meeting.
    
    
    - <span class="guibutton">**Invisible**</span>. You are not signed in.
    
    Your presence status is visible to other users wherever your user data are displayed:
