Your account menu

The account control sits in the top bar of VNCboard (the avatar near the theme toggle and the Help button). It is the one place for your account — you do not leave the board to change a setting.

Select the avatar in the top bar. The menu opens with your name (or your sign-in name when no display name is set) at the top.

Item What it does
Status Set your availability — Available, Busy, Do not disturb, Out of office, Away or Offline — with an optional reset-after time and a short message.
Notifications Your notification feed (a count badge shows the unread total). Opens the Notification Center — see The Notification Center.
Language Switch the interface language (English, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Español). Applied across the suite the next time each app loads.
Appearance Switch between light and dark.
Security & sign-in See your active sessions, revoke any of them, change your password, and sign out everywhere.
Product shortcuts Open the other suite apps you are entitled to (for example VNCchat, VNCmail, VNCfiles, VNCtask, VNCproject, the calendar (in VNCmail), VNCcontacts) — each opens in a new tab, pre-filled when the context allows.
Sign out End your session in VNCboard (see also Sign out everywhere).

Change password in the account menu is handled inside the suite — you are never sent to a separate sign-in screen to do it. Enter your current password and the new one, and confirm.

  • Active sessions lists the places you are signed in. Revoke ends one session without affecting the others.
  • Sign out everywhere ends the shared suite session, so every product signs out — not just VNCboard. See Signing in and single sign-out.

VNCboard does not run a presence service, so it does not draw live presence dots next to people. You can still set your own status here; presence dots appear in the products that provide that service.
