Your Status in Gather helps your coworkers know if you're free to chat, and also controls the spatial audio and video you'll hear from the office. 

Overview

There are three Status modes you can enter: 

  • 🟢 Available: This means you're free to talk and can hear/see people around you. 
  • 🟡 Busy: This tells others that you're working on something, but can be available to talk if needed. You can set yourself as "Busy" for a set amount of time. 
  • 🔴 Do Not Disturb: This means you're unavailable for conversations in Gather, and you will not hear/see people around you. 

An icon representing your Status can be seen above your avatar's head, when someone hovers over your desk, and from the Participants Panel.
