Managing your Buddies

The SIP Multimedia PC Client allows you to mark an address book entry as one of your Buddies. The SIP Multimedia PC Client displays the presence information (the online status) of Buddies entries. The SIP Multimedia PC Client displays your list of Buddies in a tree format.

Note: Your service package determines the maximum number of buddies that you can have.

Other users may have you designated as a buddy in order to see your online presence status. You can right-click on your status in the status area and select one of the pre-defined values (see “Status area” on page 37). Through the Tools > Preferences menu you can configure the SIP Multimedia PC Client to automatically change your presence when your PC is idle or you are on the telephone (see “Setting automatic presence indicators” on page 117).

Note: Your service package determines whether or not automatic presence support is enabled on the SIP Multimedia PC Client.

Note: Users have the ability to prevent you from seeing their presence information. Please refer to the SIP Personal Agent Getting Started Guide for more information about the ban list.
