After the first hour on Fridays I am using the caffeine app to keep my Teams status from going idle and getting my other life stuff caught up before the weekend.
Just go into the calendar and click the 'meet now's button, select do not use audio, and then set your status back to available or busy. No third party software needed.
Thanks! I heard of that as well, but i am pretty sure that activity is recorded, and if they look at Teams activity, it would definitely be odd to see someone being in a meeting all day. I've been using this app for 2 years now, and it doesn't install on the system. Part of my responsibility is application management, so if anyone's looking over apps, it's me anyway!
Another option is to run a Powershell command like this:
Not only does it keep your Teams status Active, it also prevents the screensaver from kicking in. This causes some wonky stuff in Citrix apps, so be sure to stop the command before you launch anything Citrix-related.
That's exactly why i originally used it, actually. Our group policy is set to go to screen saver and turn off screen after lile 10 min then 20 min. Whenever I played music and stepped away, it would always turn off, so this fixed it. I understood the policy at work in case you stepped away, but I am at home now, so who cares if I leave it unlocked.
You're a genius
