Managing your HUD extensions in the Avaya Cloud app (Desktop & Web)

The Heads-up display (HUD) in the Avaya Cloud app keeps your frequently used extensions at your fingertips.

When you add extensions to your HUD, you can quickly see whether they're available, in a meeting, or offline (their presence status indicator). If they’ve set a custom status message, it will also be displayed. You can hover over the extension for options to communicate with them, and easily add and remove extensions from your HUD.
