Availability

By default, the display of availability ('Active', 'Busy', 'Do not disturb') and status (e.g. 'Working from home', 'Out for lunch') is deactivated in WebEx. To activate the display, open the "Settings" (cogwheel at the bottom left), select the menu item "Privacy" and tick the box "Show availability and status". "Save" the changes.

You set the availability via the "Profile icon" (circle with initials at the top left). By default, the availability is set to 'Active', recognisable by the green dot on the profile icon. You can choose between 'Busy' and 'Do not disturb' (all notifications are muted) and set one of the predefined time periods (30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 12 hours, 7 days, 14 days) or set the duration of the respective availability display yourself via "Custom...".

By clicking on "Availability" and then "Manage quiet hours" or via the "Settings" (cogwheel), you can access the "Notifications" menu, where you can set fixed or customised times for each day of the week when you do not want to receive notifications for calls and messages. Alternatively, you can activate muting separately for messages (chat), meetings and calls in the "Notifications" submenu items.
