How to get user activity in discord.py?

I'm trying to make a bot that will write to the chat what the user is playing, but even when the game is running, None is displayed all the time

What am I doing wrong?

Working code:

from discord.ext import tasks
import discord

intents = discord.Intents.all()
intents.presences = True


class MyClient(discord.Client):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    async def on_ready(self):
        print('Logged in as')
        print(self.user.name)
        print(self.user.id)
        print('------')

    @tasks.loop(seconds=5)
    async def activity_task(self, message):
        mentions = message.mentions
        if len(mentions) == 0:
            await message.reply("Remember to give someone to get status!")
        else:
            activ = mentions[0].activity
            if activ is None:
                await message.reply("None")
            else:
                await message.reply(activ.name)

    @activity_task.before_loop
    async def before_my_task(self):
        await self.wait_until_ready()

    async def on_message(self, message):
        if message.content.startswith('!status'):
            self.activity_task.start(message)


client = MyClient(intents=intents)
client.run('token')

As Ceres said, you need to allow intents. Go to your developer's page https://discord.com/developers/applications, and go to the bot. Scroll down a bit, and you'll see this: Turn on presence and server members intent.

Now, in your code, you'll have to add this in the beginning:

intents = discord.Intents.all()

Change your bot startup code to this

client = MyClient(intents=intents)

Now, with the intents, you want the OTHER person's activity. So, in the activity_task method, you can't use message.author, as that will return whoever sent the message, not who you're mentioning.

Change it to this:

async def activity_task(self, message):
        mentions = message.mentions
        if len(mentions) == 0:
            await message.reply("Remember to give someone to get status!")
        else:
            activ = mentions[0].activity
            if activ == None:
                await messag.reply("None")
            else:    
                await message.reply(activ.name)

Now, if you do !status @[valid ping here], it should return whatever they're doing. Must note: it MUST be a valid ping.
