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.
I just put a weight on the ctrl key when I'm away or fucking around on my phone.
I learned from my wife that you can start a meeting by yourself using the Meet Now button on the Teams calendar, and that will keep you flagged as Busy.
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.
Set up a solo meeting with yourself. During meeting it doesn't change the status at all, so after you join that solo meeting in the morning set yourself to available and you will be available whole day.
That is a very Microsoft kind of behavior
This is also the way to put a real meeting your in on hold.
It makes it look like you got interrupted and had to step away.
I'm so glad that I don't know enough about teams to know what most of this means.
Right?
Just set the status to something other than active. If it says buy or away 100% of the time, even while on a call, then any crazy manager that's monitoring it will start to think it's bugged.
We just all set it to yellow the entire time so people don't think they can call out of the blue.
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.
I have a ~10 line powershell script that presses the scroll lock key for 1 second every 60 seconds. Way simpler.
I have a similar one. Much simpler. Here it is:
$wsh = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
while(1) {
$wsh.SendKeys(‘+F{15}‘)
Start-Sleep -seconds 59
}
I'm so glad we use Matrix at work. Our IT department even tells us explicitly not to use Teams if we can avoid it.
Let me guess, you signed an NDA and can't tell us where.
Hire me please xD
If you join a meeting with yourself only, you can manually set your status to available and it will never go to away.
I would expect it to say that you're "in a call"
And you would be correct, that's why previous comment indicated that you can then manually change your status, which will then make you appear as available. But as you are in a call, teams will no more automatically change your status to idle.
But what happens if someone calls you?
If it’s not on dnd it should still ring, not that hard to test though.
You still get messages and stuff in meetings including the audio chimes, unless you’re presenting (that sets DND)

What I did was to set it to "Away" permanently
It also eats up to 1,5gb of ram sitting idle as a chat program. So yeah it's not running unless I need it and then it gets to shut down again. Luckily we don't use it as our primary chat tool.
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 have Java on my machine. So I wrote a small program that moves the mouse one pixel every minute. Forever green.
That sadly doesn't work for my workstation, the VDI still locks after 5 mins and I need to 2 factor authenticate again. So I bought a physical mouse Jiggler for 7ish euros and I'm happy again.
I got roasted by friends calling me lazy because of it, fast forward 3 months and half of them asked me where I bought it. Now most of them have it, including several of my colleagues.
For the computer it's an actual mouse since the input is external, so it just works. I'm always green baby ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
I went the other route: I set to away until 2030. Now they don't know if I'm really away or not.
You are a fucking master mind! I wonder what other secret knowledge you possess, and I'm serious.

With a mouse jiggler, you can control your status manually, even from your phone while you're in bed. Away at five, Busy at nine, Available when I'm actually at the keyboard only if necessary.
Just use a 🥄 on your touchpad
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.
