See Out of Office status in direct messages

Hive web now shows a non-blocking banner in 1:1 direct messages when the person you are messaging is marked Out of Office. When a return date is available, the banner includes it, and it disappears when the status clears without interrupting messaging.

Open a 1:1 direct message in Hive web. The banner appears above the message composer when the other person is Out of Office.

This helps teammates coordinate handoffs and response expectations before sending a message.
