Set presence to active

Make my presence active now — I’m back from lunch and need to be visible for the architecture sync in 10 minutes. Clear any away or do-not-disturb flags and ensure my green active dot is visible to Priya and to the engineering leads so they can call on me during the meeting.

Before I switch to active, make it clear to others why I’m back. Set the status to Active with a short note: Available for sync until noon. Ensure the indicator appears in both the sidebar and the direct message lists, and flag anything that would make a reviewer hesitate: lingering DND timers, calendar conflicts, or stale presence that shows me as offline.

I turned my presence to active before the standup but colleagues still see me as away. I don’t know if the client app didn’t register the change, if my workstation blocked updates, or if a DND schedule overrode it. What’s the most likely cause and the fastest way to make my active status visible to others now?

After every lunch break my active indicator lags and teammates assume I’m unavailable, leading to missed quick decisions. This costs us velocity on rollout days. What one technical habit and one team convention will prevent these status lags from derailing coordination?
