Workplace etiquette

What to include in a meeting Slack status

A meeting status should show whether you are briefly unavailable, tied up for hours, or reachable only for something urgent.

  1. 01

    Short meetings

    For quick meetings, a simple status with a 30- or 60-minute expiration works best. It should clear automatically when the meeting ends.

  2. 02

    Training and workshops

    Training usually lasts longer and may include breaks. “In training” or “Workshop, limited Slack” sets a more accurate expectation than just “In a meeting.”

  3. 03

    Conferences

    Conference statuses should cover the full event window and mention limited availability. Teammates need to know you may not follow normal response patterns.
