Topic: Away Status

I am about to go on vacation. I was thinking it would be cool if I could set an away status w/ a message (e.g., "Out of the Office Aug 4 - 16") -- that way people know why I am not responding and when I expect to be back. It doesn't need to auto-reply, but maybe it would add a tool-tip or different color treatment when people @ me while I'm away. @Tim Abbott -- has Zulip thought about anything like this?

Maybe change the coloured circle on the side to show active, idle, and OOO?
Or maybe a 1-line status message generally on your profile pop-up?

Have you seen these settings?

In the web interface, you can find those options by finding your name in the USERS list (should be at top) and clicking on the three dots that show up when you hover.

Thanks @Josh Mandel and @Matt Printz -- I am in the desktop app. I looked through all the settings in the cogwheel on the bottom left, and then all the setting in the cogwheel on the top right -- thinking it might be there (specifically in "Personal Settings"). But it's not. I did not think to find myself in the user list and then click the menu there. @Tim Abbott -- Zulip might want to consider making that more obvious. If my name/avatar was positioned in a fixed location outside of the user list (like top-right next to the cogwheel), I think I would have figured this out on my own.
