VIDEO: The chat is inactive on Facebook

You can do this with an inactive Facebook chat

1. Log into your FacebookAccount a. Take a look at that at the bottom right Chat-Window. You can recognize your inactive chat by the fact that the green circle can no longer be seen. Instead, a crescent moon can be seen, which means something like: You are slumbering, you are inactive. It appears when you are not active on your computer in your Facebook for a longer period of time. You may then still be online, but for others you are virtually offline. This is a bit confusing because to you, "being online" means "being offline" to others.
2. Get active now. Comment on something or otherwise act as you would on your Facebook. Then your status changes from inactive to active.
3. In order for your Facebook contacts to notice this, however, you have to go online as a chat partner. In other words, a green light must indicate that you are online. Simply click on the field that says "Chat (offline)", then the "offline" status changes to an "online" status. The gray point becomes a green point. Alternatively, you can click on the word “online” in the sentence “You are currently offline. To chat with friends, go online "that appears on the right when you open your home page.

4. So you don't really have to do anything other than get active on your side again. Then the crescent moon changes back to the green light, which signals to others that you can now be reached again immediately if necessary.
5. But you have to be continuously active for longer. After about fifteen minutes, the chat status switches back to inactive if you do nothing more. You cannot set the time limit yourself. This switch to "inactive" happens automatically.
