Presence Indicator & User Statuses

The WebSocket version shows real-time online presence indicators and allows users to set their availability status.

How it works​

A colored dot next to a user's avatar indicates their current availability status. Presence is tracked through the WebSocket connection, so status changes are reflected instantly across all connected clients. Users can manually set their status to control how they appear to others.

Status types​

  • Online (green) — User is actively on the site
  • Away (yellow) — User has been inactive
  • Do Not Disturb (red) — User has set themselves as unavailable
