What does the Call Availability toggle do in MyOperator and how do I change my status?

⚡Quick answer -

Call Availability controls whether you are included in inbound IVR / queue routing. Toggle it to On (Available) when you can take calls and to Off (Away) when you are busy. Changes take effect within seconds.

When should I use this guide?

Read this if you need to pause or resume incoming calls—e.g., during breaks or meetings—without affecting other agents.

6. Edge cases & limits 

• UI refresh delay: 1-2 min during peak load.

• Admin “Pause” overrides your toggle.

• Browser tab must stay logged in; status reverts to Away after 8 h of inactivity (auto-logout).

  1. Direct transfers target you explicitly.
  2. Ring groups marked Always include ignore individual Away status.
  3. Callbacks scheduled to your extension bypass the queue.
