# Access the Options Menu
> Any user can access additional settings, information, and assistance through the options menu.
Any user can access additional settings, information, and assistance through the options menu in the upper-right corner of the BigBlueButton interface. Use it to set [away status](#away-status), open [settings](#settings), view [about](#about) info, find [help](#help), or see [keyboard shortcuts](#keyboard-shortcuts).
To open the menu, select the three dots (kebab menu) in the upper right-hand corner.
There are several options available within the Menu:
* [**Away Status \[1\]**](#away-status) — updates user presence
* **Make full screen \[2]** — enables full screen mode
* [**Settings \[3\]**](#settings) — access additional application settings
* [**About \[4\]**](#about) — BigBlueButton copyright and build information
* [**Help \[5\]**](#help) — access tutorial videos
* [**Keyboard shortcuts \[6\]**](#keyboard-shortcuts) — provides a list of hotkeys for quick keyboard navigation
## Away Status
Setting to **away** will (a) pause your webcam, (b) mute your microphone, and (c) let everyone know in the chat you are away - all with a single click.
## Settings
The **Settings** menu houses several features that a user can enable or disable to customize their experience in the BigBlueButton session.
Subsections of the settings menu include the [**applications**](#application-menu) menu and [**data savings**](#data-savings) menu.
### Application menu
By default, the Application menu is expanded; a user can make changes to the BigBlueButton **Animations \[1]** (enabled by default).
To change the default language, select from the list of available languages found in the **Application Language \[2]** dropdown.
You can also change the application **Font Size \[3]**. To make the font larger, select the **+** and to decrease the font size, select the **-**.
Enable **Audio alerts \[4]**, and **Popup alerts \[5]** to notify you of new incoming chat messages while in the BigBlueButton session and when your chat pane or users list is minimized.
All alerts are in-browser only and do not behave like desktop push notifications.
Select **Save** to apply any changes made or **Close** to return to the session.
### Data Savings
Settings found within the Data Savings menu are intended for users who are connecting from a mobile device or those connecting to networks performing under the recommended bandwidth requirements for optimal use of BigBlueButton.
By default both the **Webcam \[1]** and **Desktop Sharing \[2]** streams are enabled.
To conserve bandwidth, toggle **off**. When turned off, any incoming or outgoing webcam or desktop sharing streams stop appearing.
### Dark Mode
To enable dark mode, switch the toggle **on** from the \*\*Application settings \*\*menu.
Your interface will appear as displayed:
## About
