Apple Watch Series 4 Status Icon

Does anyone know what the green status icon is when you first turn your wrist? It looks like the back of the watch, but I 'd like to know what it means.

Isn’t that the walkie-talkie Icon?

Thanks that's it for sure!
Why does it show up so briefly? Can you do anything with it?

You have to choose it for one of the complications and then you can use it if you have friends who also have it.

It’s just to remind you that your watch is set to “available” for the walkie-talkie app. If you set it to “unavailable”, it will not show.
