Cultural Tip
In French professional and academic settings, saying “être en ligne” is the standard way to refer to remote participation. It’s perfectly polite, but if you need a more formal tone you can add “disponible” (e.g., “Je serai disponible en ligne”). The phrase is also common in gaming circles, where “être en ligne” simply means “to be logged on”.
