Use this interactive demo to learn how to keep your Webex presence status active and visible.

Quick summary

Keeping your Webex status active prevents your presence from going idle by sending or reading messages regularly, or by manually setting your profile status to Active and saving the change.

Steps

Maintain application activity in Webex by regularly sending or reading messages to prevent your status from going idle.
Open your profile settings to manually set a status that keeps your Webex presence active.
Switch your status to Active to signal to colleagues that you are available and ready to collaborate.
Click Save to confirm your updated status and make it visible to everyone in your workspace.

📌 Why this matters

Maintaining an active Webex status is critical for distributed teams that rely on presence indicators to coordinate in real time. When a user's status incorrectly shows as idle or away, colleagues may skip reaching out, creating communication delays. Webex's built-in status controls — including activity-based presence and manual profile status overrides — give users direct control over how they appear to their team. Knowing how to keep your Webex status active ensures you stay reachable, reduce missed messages, and maintain seamless team collaboration.
