Kinda what bloctans said, except you just check the "usernames" variable block and look for the username. (all connected users are saved to a var) If the var doesn't match, send the global message

user online and offline notifs shouldn't be super hard, looking at the underlying cloudlink protocol, the ulist command is sent when someone goes online or offline, we could try to listen for changes to this

Adding another suggestion to this, we could have an epoch time stored for when they last pinged the server, if the epoch time is over let's say 2 minutes then they're considered offline. The ping function will just be the built in one that helps keep the connection alive.

I also like the idea of using ulist, it's simple and already in CloudLink, will just have to implement client side.

Easiest thing to do is check the length of the username list to show how many people are online.

isnt this added in the latest beta 5 preview?
