One of the beautiful things about being able to run Linux at work and use Teams in a browser is that my status is decoupled from what I'm doing on my machine. Obviously if I'm in a meeting or chatting with somebody through Teams my status will reflect that.
I bet my most productive days have me away/idle for hours on end, lol.
Yes. I wrote a script to make me green even though my employer doesn’t give a shit because I want the peace of mind even though I’m in your situation.
This micromanagement via surveillance is counterproductive any way you slice it. The peace of mind script makes me more valuable to my employer even though it might be inconsequential.
Bentham’s panopticon.
Get a USB mouse jiggler. There are hundreds of them.

They are undetectable because they are just another USB Mouse.
These other solutions are so annoying. Yes let me spend the mental energy to wedge keys downs or setup fake meetings every single time I have to take a shit.
It's important not to plug in a USB device like that into your work PC. IT can likely see what devices are used on any system.
Instead use a physical mouse mover device that only requires power, like a USB cord plugged into a wall charger instead of the PC.
If you join a meeting with yourself only, you can manually set your status to available and it will never go to away.
Wow we are all slaves. :( I type this between my Teams meetings.
Using team status to know if you are working or not is both rudimentary and unreliable. There are a lot of times the status is just displayed wrong, besides, if stuff is getting done, then that is a sign you are working
Yes! If you are in a work situation where your boss is doing this, find another job. Your performance should be based on outcomes, not butt and n seat time.
I was getting marked as "away" in Microsoft Teams every day, even though I was working. I just wasn't using Microsoft Teams, so it marked me as idle.
I wrote this Autohotkey script after my boss started complaining. It clicks on Teams every 2 minutes:
global running := 0
^+1::
{
global running := 1
while running == 1
{
CoordMode("Mouse", "Screen")
oldx := 0
oldy := 0
MouseGetPos(&oldx, &oldy)
prev_active := WinActive("A")
Try
{
WinActivate("ahk_class TeamsWebView")
}
Catch TargetError as e
{
}
CoordMode("Mouse", "Window")
Send("{Click 80 40 Left}")
Try
{
WinActivate("ahk_id " prev_active)
}
Catch TargetError as e
{
}
CoordMode("Mouse", "Screen")
MouseMove(oldx, oldy, 0)
sleep(115000)
}
}
^+2::
{
global running := 0
}
It has the side effect of preventing my computer from entering screensaver/lock screen when I really am away.
I run teams in a PWA on Linux which doesn't have permission to check if I'm using my computer or not so I'm always listed as away unless I'm interacting with Teams directly. I hate teams so much.
Use a program called Caffeine. It presses F15 every 59 seconds. Nice thing is that F15 is a largely unused button, so it doesn't interfere in any way when you're actually doing something on the computer (classic mouse wigglers are very annoying in that regard)
A proper wiggler should reset the timer every time you actually move your mouse so it never do it while you are using your mouse
I'm so glad that I don't know enough about teams to know what most of this means.
What I did was to set it to "Away" permanently
I love how inaccurate that status is. No one can depend on it.
Super simple to write a script that prevents it.
Unlike many others in this thread, I can't download any programs on my work laptop. I just don't have permissions.
So I found a much lower tech way of staying green. I go to the chat with yourself chat. Then I put a 3 pound weight on the backspace button. This keeps me green forever.
With my old work laptop, I was able to press backspace then wedge a set of tweezers in the key to hold it down.
Whatever works lol.
