# Updating Presence The `Client.change_presence` method allows you to update the bot's status and displayed activity. Pass an :class:`~disagreement.models.Activity` (such as :class:`~disagreement.models.Game` or :class:`~disagreement.models.Streaming`) to describe what your bot is doing. ## Status Strings - `online` – show the bot as online - `idle` – mark the bot as away - `dnd` – do not disturb - `invisible` – appear offline ## Activity Types An activity dictionary must include a `name` and a `type` field. The type value corresponds to Discord's activity types: | Type | Meaning | |-----:|--------------| | `0` | Playing | | `1` | Streaming | | `2` | Listening | | `3` | Watching | | `4` | Custom | | `5` | Competing | Example using the provided activity classes: ```python from disagreement.models import Game await client.change_presence(status="idle", activity=Game("with Discord")) ``` You can also specify a streaming URL: ```python from disagreement.models import Streaming await client.change_presence(status="online", activity=Streaming("My Stream", "https://twitch.tv/someone")) ```
