# User statuses

In TrueConf for Android, there are statuses that can be used to determine the activity of users:

/docs/client-android/media/gui/statuses/online/en.svg — online

/docs/client-android/media/gui/statuses/mobile/en.svg — online from a smartphone or tablet

/docs/client-android/media/gui/statuses/from_terminal/en.svg — online from a hardware or software SIP/H.323 endpoint

/docs/client-android/media/gui/statuses/in_cloud/en.svg — recent activity: this network status is given to a user who previously signed into the mobile application, but is currently offline.

/docs/client-android/media/gui/statuses/owner/en.svg — the owner of an ongoing conference
