How do I change my presence status in Skype?

1. From Chats, select your profile picture.
2. Select your current presence status.
3. Select one of the following status options:
   
   
   • Active - Let your contacts know you're available and ready to chat.
   • Away - Let your contacts know you may be unavailable. This automatically sets after you've been inactive for one hour or more but can be turned on anytime.
   • Do not disturb - Let your contacts know you don't want to be disturbed. They can still send you an instant message or call but you won't be alerted.
     
     
     • To receive notifications when your presence is set to Do not disturb:
       
       
       1. From Chats, select your profile picture.
       2. Select  Settings.

   • Invisible - Hides your presence indicator from others but they will see the last time you were set to Active or Do not disturb.

Tip: For Skype on desktop, you can also quickly access these status options by selecting the small presence button attached to your profile picture.
