Can I write my own chat availability?

Yes! Add your own status message after either Available or Busy. For example, you could select Busy and write “crunch time!”

Here’s how (another example: “Available – I’m in the cafeteria”):

  1. Click your current status at the top of the page. It’s next to your ID.
  2. Select Custom Status Message.*
  3. After “Appear as”, select Available or Busy.
  4. In the box after “Your Message”, add the text you want.
  5. Click OK. Done!
  6. * If you don’t see Custom Status Message in the pull-down menu, first set your status to Available.
