Status Notifier FAQ
Everything you need to know about the Status Notifier busy light — how it syncs with Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, and Discord, what's in the box, privacy, setup, and shipping. Don't see your question? Contact us.
Does it read my messages or listen to my calls?
No. It reads only your availability status (available / busy / in a meeting) through each platform's official secure sign-in. It never accesses message content, audio, or video.
Do I have to use all four platforms?
No. Use one or all four — sign in to whichever you want and ignore the rest.
Do I need a paid Teams/Slack/Zoom/Discord account?
Free Zoom, Slack, and Discord accounts are supported. Microsoft Teams automatic presence synchronization requires an eligible work or school Microsoft account.
Does it work on a Mac?
Yes — there's a free app for both Windows 10/11 and macOS 11+.
What port does it use?
the controller connects via USB-A; a USB-C adapter works if your computer only has the other type.
Can I customize the colors?
Yes — the app lets you set custom RGB colors and effects for each status.
Do you ship internationally?
US shipping only for now. Join the email list below to hear when that changes.
