Status Panel

The Status Panel shows the following:

• A colored avatar with the first letter of the user's name.

• The user's display name.

• A bell icon which represents if the user has Do Not Disturb mode enabled or not.

• The user's Joinable state.

  • Joinable means that invites are allowed

  • Not Joinable means that invites are not allowed.

Clicking the Status Panel opens a settings screen where you can toggle your Do Not Disturb status. If Do Not Disturb is enabled, you can get game invites, friend invites, completed achievements, and so on, but you will not receive any notifications.

Filter Friends

This component enables users to filter their complete list of friends. As the user types, the Social Overlay filters out all friends whose display names do not match the user's input. The substring that matches the user's input is highlighted.

Invitations to Play

The first section of Friends shows incoming invites from the user's friends. This list is displayed first for convenience and ease of use when receiving and accepting invites, but friends in this list are also shown in the appropriate section in the rest of the friends list.

For each invite, the user can choose one of two actions: Accept or Decline (represented by a button with X icon). After the user clicks one of these buttons, the button may briefly enter a disabled state while the EOS SDK handles the user's requested action. If an error occurs during either action, an error notification displays.

Playing

The second section of Friends lists friends playing the same game as the local user. The Social Overlay determines which friends belong in this section by comparing the user's app ID to friends' app IDs. If matched, the friend will appear in this section of friends list.

The user always appears at the top of this list, and has the YOU label at the end of their display name. If the user is in a group with other friends, they will be overlaid on top of one another and do not have actions (see Same Group Friends ).

This section is sorted in the following order:

1. You (current user)

2. Same Group Friends, by display name, in alphabetical order

3. Other Friends, by display name, in alphabetical order.

Same Group Friends

Friends in the same group as the user (for example, if they are in the same party or the same game session) will be listed here and appear clumped together representing their friend group. Unlike other friends listed in this section, these users do not have actions.

Friend Playing Game

Friends that are not in your group will fill the rest of your Playing friends section. Two action buttons will display beside each user name: Join and Invite.

The Join button is disabled if the friend is not currently in a joinable state.

The Invite button is disabled if the friend is not allowing invites.

Shift F3 Windows 10

After the user takes action, both buttons may be disabled while EOS SDK handles the requested action. If an error occurs during either action, an error notification will be emitted.

Other Friends

The last section of the friends list is the user's friends who did not meet the previous criteria. This includes, but is not limited to, friends playing other games, friends sitting in the Launcher, and friends who are currently offline.

This section is sorted in the following order:

1. Friend's Presence State

   1. Online

   2. Away

   3. Extended Away

   4. Offline

2. Display name, in alphabetical order
