Using Buddy Lists

A Buddy list is a list of users whose status or presence you can monitor. Users can update their presence
setting to status 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 the Lines and Home screens, if your buddy is
a favorite.

Note: Buddies and Microsoft Skype for Business Server
If the unified conference station is configured to work with Skype for Business Server, the way you
manage contacts who you can view their presence status is different. For more information, see

Add Contacts to Your Buddy List
If you want to monitor other people, you need to make sure they are in your Buddy list. You add people to
your Buddy list from your Contact Directory, so you must first add them to your Contact Directory before
adding them to your Buddy list. For information on adding a person to your contact directory see the section
Managing the Contact
To add a contact to your Buddy list:
1 From your Contact Directory, select a contact.
2 From the Contact Information screen, tap

The default setting is Disabled. When enabled, the contact is added to your Buddy list so you can
monitor the contact's status.
4 Select Save.
