If you start a chat with yourself click the message textbox and hold down the left shift key the teams will think that your typing and it never changes the status. You don't need to make any changes to your system or install anything with this. Just place a heavy object on the shift key.

If you leave the teams app open on an ios device, it will remain green no matter what you do. When I'm wfh, I just leave teams open in my iPad. I'm green all day long and it still adjusts the color to red for meetings. The main thing here is to remember to turn it off after hours. If you are still green at 10pm every day, it might look suspicious.

I used bots for games 20 years ago, I mean it should be easy to trick mouse movement...
