Article Summary
Presence icons in Dialpad provide a visual representation of a user's availability and status. The icons are displayed next to the user's avatar in the Dialpad App and on the left-hand sidebar in the Favorites and Recents sections. The colors of the presence icons indicate different statuses, such as green for available, red for unavailable or on a call, and yellow for busy or in a meeting. The red presence icon can have multiple meanings, including "Do Not Disturb," "on a call," or "in a Dialpad Meeting." The presence icons can be synced with your calendar to automatically update your status based on your meetings or activities. In Call Centers, being in a meeting is shown as red instead of yellow. External Dialpad users from outside your company will always appear as green.

- Set to Do Not Disturb

Red presence icon
While some presence icon colors, such as green, have only one meaning, others, such as Red, can have multiple meanings.
Let's take a look at the different options for the red presence icon.
Red circle with a line - Do Not Disturb (DND)
A red circle with a line through it means that you have set yourself to Do Not Disturb (DND) mode, which will prevent calls from ringing your devices.
