Using Buddy Lists

A Buddy list is a list of users/devices whose status—or presence—you can monitor. Users update their
presence setting, such as Be right back, Out to lunch, or Busy, and you can view their status in real time
from your Buddy list. You can also view your buddies' status from Lines view and Home view, if your
buddy is a favorite.
In this section, you'll learn how to:
 Update your presence status
 Set up and manage a Buddy list
 Block people from monitoring your status
 Monitor your buddies from your phone
