Determining Who Sees You Online

Sametime Connect includes a privacy feature that allows you to determine which regular users can see you online. If you prevent someone from seeing you online:

• Your name always has Offline status in the selected person's contact list. The person cannot send you instant messages or instant meeting invitations.
• The person's name always has Offline status in your contact list. You cannot send instant messages or instant meeting invitations to the person.
