When enabled, Do Not Disturb (DND) will send all your callers to voicemail. The Do Not Disturb feature on your BT Cloud Work account is extension specific; it does not affect other extensions. 

Users can also set their availability status as Available, Busy, Do Not Disturb, or Invisible.

You can change your Do Not Disturb settings via the following:

Easily switch between Available, Busy, Do not disturb or Invisible statuses without opening the BT Cloud Work for Desktop and without doing extra clicks. This is available via dock on Mac and the Windows tray icon.

Presence enables you to detect the phone status of your colleagues and display on your desk phones. Presence-capable phones have status indicator lights which allow the Admins to see who is available, busy, or on hold. Administrators can configure Presence settings for QAs, Supervisors, and Managers alike who need to monitor calls made by other Users in real time.
