# Status
{% hint style="warning" %}
This module requires a [Premium Subscription](https://botghost.com/docs/premium/premium-and-priority-hosting-plans#premium-plans) to function.
{% endhint %}
The [Status module](https://dashboard.botghost.com/dashboard/module/42056fd5-1c1d-4f89-8db7-794fe732424c/status) allows you to change the status on your bot to something of your own. You can also configure a command that allows you to change it directly from your server.
