How to show a user as online even if they're not in a room with presence component
As the title says, I want my application to show an online and offline status for users. I also need to handle the specific case where a user is considered online even if they are in the app but not inside a specific room. How can I achieve this?

You could move
usePresence into a context provider (or some other global state handler depending on how you do state management), and give it a default "room" for users that aren't in a room. If they are in a room, you could set the room name in the context so usePresence can pick up the current room.
