Hello, I would like to know if it´s possible to get the user online/offline status with API or Desktop SDK? I can retrieve the user information with API…and I can get a status value…but it´s a general status (active, inactive…) I need to get the online/offline status. Is it possible? Thanks so much. Best regards. David. ---

At the moment we do not have a “presence” API. This is in the pipeline but I don’t want to give false hope with a hard date but expect it to be out before the end of the year and possible sooner. ---

Any update here? Is there any way with REST or SDK to check user presence status? ---

Hi Michael, Any updates on Presence status API ? are they exposed ? I needed an API to set and get the User presence status. @All, please share if you have any leads. ---

Hey @akashnema11, The only user presence status API we have is our [User Presence Status Updated Webhook.](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/webhook-reference/user-events/presence-status-updated) Thanks, Tommy ---

Is there any update here? Any way with REST or SDK to check user presence status? We can get an update on user status via Webhook, but after retrieving the user there’s no way to find its current status, right? Thank you! ---

Hey @rgoncalves, Thanks for checking in on this—at the moment, the webhook is still the only API resource for this, and it’s not possible to query a user’s current status outside of this. That said, this functionality is still something our team hopes to implement at some point. We appreciate your raising the value of this. Thanks, Will ---

Is the [https://api.zoom.us/v2/contacts?page\_size=100&query\_presence\_status=1](https://api.zoom.us/v2/contacts?page_size=100&query_presence_status=1) API only a recent thing? That seems to provide the presence information on demand. ---

Hi @eion, Thanks for pointing this out. I do believe this query param is a recent enhancement, and should be a good way to query this. Thanks! Will
