Overview

Your status in Gather is more than a green or gray dot. At a glance, your coworkers can know:

• If you’re free to talk (Active 🟢)
• Heads down focused (Busy 🎧)
• On a lunch break 🥗 or at an appointment 📅
• Working in popular apps like Notion or Figma

In this example 👉 Morgan is Busy 🎧 working in Figma. Evan and Sam are Available 🟢 but Sam is responding to Slack messages. And the empty desk (Aryan) is away from his desk.

At a glance, you can see that Evan or Sam would be the best people to approach with a question.
