# How to send direct messages to your team members?

Gone are the days of switching messaging platforms to contact your team members. You can now effortlessly see your team members' status (online/offline) and send direct messages, all within the KrispCall app.

_Direct messaging is available on all versions of KrispCall (desktop, web, Android, and iOS)._

## How to view your team member's status

You can quickly view your team member's status to know whether they are online. _It doesn't mean you can't send direct messages to offline members._

On the left-hand panel underneath **MEMBERS**, you can see the team members in your workspace. If your team members are online, they will have the green bubble filled next to their picture icon.

Offline members will not have green the green bubble filled next to their picture icon.
