Within Teamwork Chat, you can add and update your status to give your team quick updates about what you are working on.

- Working from home
You can add emojis when creating a status. Click the green Set Status button to update.
Once completed, you will see a green success indicator in the bottom right corner.
Your status will also have been updated in Teamwork.
Once a user has set a status, an emoji will show next to their name in Teamwork Chat. Hover over the icon to view their status.
You can also view a users status from:
- The conversation sidebar when in a direct message

Editing a status
Once a status has been set, you can then clear or edit your status. Click your profile icon in the top right corner. Select Clear to remove a status update or Edit to amend your current status.
Video call statuses
