Temporarily AFK/OOO status

I often want to walk away from my workstation for errands, meals etc. Wish there was a way to indicate that easily in Gather

BRB Status

Grace

We've been testing Gather.Town as a co-working space for a remote team. It would be great if it were more convenient to set a short status letting others know you're away, and for that status to be visible on your avatar. Having to make multiple clicks just to step away for a couple of minutes is really inconvenient and makes me not want to stay in the space while I'm working (because I feel like if I go to the bathroom, etc. I need to create a status and so-on). A simple "brb" style status shortcut would be really nice to have.

Ability to manually put yourself in "AFK Mode" to indicate to others in the gather that you're not at your computer right now

We have used the workaround of (ctrl/cmd + U) to indicate as not available. But more pre-built status options/indicators would be great.

In our space we use quiet mode (Ctrl+U) as an "AFK indicator". It displays a red symbol above the avatar's head.

Dave Boschma: Yea, I agree basically this, but with a manual control so I toggle it on when I have to use the bathroom 💀

Dave Boschma

Jo Gao: Agreed! Manual (keyboard-shortcut enabled!) option would be super!
