Idea: BRB Status

[jb12]

Regularly, people say "BRB" and then have to write "Ok Back", especially if video is off.  Would be helpful to just have a "BRB" status you can flip on that shows in the participants pane and the video window that you can turn off when you are back.  Bonus points for adding a custom message, like "BRB - 5 min" or "BRB - grabbing a glass of water"

Sounds like you need something similar to this super cool new "I'm away" feature 😎 :   https://twitter.com/Zoom/status/1442890697934135308?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5E....

Hi @jb12 

The Zoom app itself (your zoom profile) has something like that (Status and Note) for use between Contacts, but I don't think it translates into an actual status seen within a Meeting when in progress.

That would be a good idea.

Be sure to submit it at https://zoom.us/feed

Ok, will do!  Yeah, I'm specifically referring to an in-meeting status (just for that meeting).  Thanks!

Loving learning something new everyday in the Community @alexisbrown !

Some have a BRB status icon available (Coffee mug) and some do not. Some meetings have reactions like Yes No Faster Slower. Same client, same laptop. What do they depend on and how can they be activated?

I see the tutorial and where it should be, but it's not in my Zoom 

[jb12]

Yes that would work I think!  When is that going live? (I don't see it in latest update)

[alexisbrown]

It should be available now in your latest Zoom version 🤔

[jb12]

Don't see it in Version: 5.8.0 (1780)

[alexisbrown]

I am on version 5.8.0 (1324). Does your app say you are on the latest version?

[jb12]

Yes says "you are up to date"

@alexisbrown @jb12 I wonder whether this is also dependent on the account/meeting being enabled for "Non-verbal feedback" or "Meeting reactions"

[jb12]

That was it! Thank you!

[williammartin]

where is this?
