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
When you create a contact by entering details in the Contact, 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.)
As soon as the presence checkbox is checked for a contact, 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.
Allowing Other Parties to See your Status (Publishing your Status)
Continuing from above, when the other person allows the notification request, your name is added to their
contact list. As soon as you are added to their list, a request is sent back to you requesting that they be able to
see you. Bria accepts this request automatically, and the other person can now see your status.
