After the global deactivation of the presence status feature in the TU Dresden Matrix, old statuses may still be displayed. The status function can be deactivated in your Element Desktop so that room members and persons are not displayed as offline/online. First, close Element Desktop and then carry out the following steps.

Older installations may use the folder name "Riot" instead of "Element" - in this case, simply replace the name in the respective command.
