4.3 Sharing Online Status
You can publish your online status to contacts who have softphone address, and you can set up Bria to view the
online status of other contacts. Typical online statuses are available, on the phone, busy, and so on.
Sharing Online Status
Watching Others’ Status
To watch a contact’s status, that contact must be tagged:
• When you create a contact by entering details in the Contact Profile, the contact is automatically set up so
that you share status information. (If you created a contact by importing a contact list, it is not automatically
set up to shared. You must display the Contact Profile and check the presence checkbox.)
• Or if you are using Outlook as your contact storage, start sharing status information by selecting one or
more contacts and choosing Subscribe to presence.
Bria sends the contact a notification request. The request asks that you be able to see that person’s status. If the
person allows this request, then the icon beside their name (in your Contacts) becomes color coded to specify
their status.
