Team ActivityTeam
See what your team is working on in real-time.
Overview
When working in an organization, you can see which team members have active timers and what topics they're tracking. This helps coordinate work, avoid duplicating effort, and stay connected with your team.
Note
Viewing Active Timers
Team members' active timers appear in the sidebar when you're in an organization workspace.

Tip
Real-Time Updates
The team activity panel updates automatically when team members:
- Start a timer - Their entry appears within seconds
- Stop a timer - Their entry disappears from the list
- Switch topics - The topic name updates immediately
You don't need to refresh the page. Updates stream in automatically using real-time sync.
Note
Empty States
The team activity panel shows helpful messages when there's nothing to display:
Privacy Considerations
Team activity is designed with privacy in mind:
- Only active timers are shown, not historical data
- Notes and personal details are never shared in real-time
- Members control what topics they track
- Completed entries require report access to view
Tip
Using Activity for Coordination
Team activity helps with common coordination scenarios:
Avoiding conflicts
See if someone is already working on a task before you start. Prevents two people from fixing the same bug.
Finding availability
Check if a team member is deep in work before messaging them. A long-running timer suggests they're focused.
Staying connected
Remote teams can feel more connected knowing what colleagues are working on, even across time zones.
Standup preparation
Quick glance at team activity before daily standup helps you know what everyone accomplished.
