Updating Your Presence Status

Polycom phones enable you to sign into your personal communication software client and update your
presence status on your phone. This section provides information on how to update your Buddy status on
VVX phones.
Note: Your phone may not support the features described in this section. Check with your system admin-
istrator to find out which features are available on your phone.

Updating Your Buddy Status

You can update your status to one of the following:
● Online
● Busy
● Be right back
● Away
● On the phone
● Out to lunch
● Do not disturb
Your phone also sends certain status information automatically to the people watching you—such as if you
are in a call, if you enabled Do Not Disturb on your phone, or if your phone is offline because you restarted it.

Update Your Buddy Status

You can update your status on your phone so that contacts can monitor your status from their phones. Your
updated status is displayed in the status bar on your phone, and your contacts are automatically notified of
your new status.
1 Select My Status, or navigate to Settings > Features > Presence > My Status.
2 From the My Status screen, select your desired status.
Note: If your status is set to Do Not Disturb, when you enable then disable the Do Not Disturb feature on
your phone, your status changes to Online.

Automatically Update Your Buddy Status

You can enable your phone to automatically set your status to Away when your phone is idle for a certain
length of time. After you touch the screen or press a key on your phone, your status changes to Available
again.
1 Navigate to Settings > Basic > Preferences > Presence > Idle Timeout.
2 From the Idle Timeout screen, enable an Office Hours and Off Hours timeout, and enter the
number of minutes your phone should be idle before your status changes to Away.
