<title>Change your availability</title>
23
<p>If you're working on something and don't want to be bothered, you
24
can change your status to <gui>Busy</gui>. Just click your name on the
25
top bar and select <gui>Busy</gui>.</p>
27
<p>When you're marked busy, most notifications will not pop up at the
28
bottom of the screen. Very important notifications, such as when your
29
battery is critically low, will still pop up. Notifications will still
30
be available in the messaging tray when you move your mouse to the
31
bottom right corner, and they will be shown to you when you mark
32
yourself available again.</p>
34
<p>If you use GNOME's built-in instant messaging features, this will
35
also change your availability to your chat contacts, so they know
36
not to disturb you.</p>
