# How to always appear online

*Learn how to configure your Crisp availability so you can appear online all the time.*

If you want Crisp to treat you as online permanently, you can use your personal availability schedule. This is useful for specific routing setups or teams that always want at least one operator to appear available.

The availability schedule lets you define when your account should appear **online**. To appear online permanently, configure the schedule to cover every day of the week.

__To stay online all the time:__
* Go to [**Crisp**](https://app.crisp.chat)
* Open **Settings** from the bottom-left corner
* Navigate to **Settings → Account → Availability**
* Toggle **Enable availability schedule**
* Configure every day from **Monday** to **Sunday** as online all day
* Let Crisp auto-save your availability preferences

|| **Invisible** mode must be disabled before you can configure or rely on these availability preferences.

Always-online availability can be helpful, but it should match how your team actually handles conversations. If nobody is monitoring the Inbox, visitors may expect faster replies than your team can provide.

__Common reasons to stay online:__
* **Routing rules** → keep a specific operator eligible for assignment rules
* **Coverage expectations** → show users that support is available across the week
* **Internal workflows** → keep availability stable for a team process that depends on online status
