Presence features within UNIVERGE BLUE® CONNECT help to indicate which of co-workers are available for collaboration and communication.

Your presence status is displayed on the profile picture in the left bottom corner of the app. 

Important: Do Not Disturb/Out sick/On vacation/Off work puts all user's devices in DND mode. It will affect not only the app it was activated on, but desk phones as well. If Do Not Disturb/Out sick/On vacation/Off work is activated on Desktop, Mobile app will not ring either and vice versa.
