# User status icons
Under certain circumstances, status icons appear on a user's panel on the Users tab of the Host Controls page. An example is shown in the following image:
Example status icon - user is recording
The icons that may appear are described in the following table:
| Icon | Name | Description |
| :------------------------------: | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|  | Loading |
Indicates that a user's device has started to load content or Shared Screen media - such as a video, screen, or web browser.
If the icon disappears, this typically indicates that the media loaded successfully. Alternatively, this icon may be replaced by a loading progress or loading failed icon, as described below.
|
|  | Loading progress | Indicates the loading progress for an item of content. |
|  | Loading failed | Indicates that the user's device has failed to load a shared video. For example, the link may be incorrect or access to the video may be restricted to certain geographic regions. |
|  | Recording | Indicates that the user is recording others in the Session. The icon doesn't appear if a user is recording only themselves. |
|  | Seat lock | Indicates that the user is locked in a seat and will not be able to leave it until a host releases them. For more information, see [Seating](/engage/host-controls/seating.md). |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/host-controls/user-status-icons.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
