Microsoft Teams decides you are "Away" by watching your keyboard and mouse. After a few
minutes without input it changes your status and your screen goes dark. It does not know
whether you actually left.
You might be reading a long document, testing something on a phone or tablet, sketching on
paper, or talking to the person at the next desk. In every one of those cases you are
working, and Teams tells your colleagues you are not.
NeverAway corrects that, and it does the opposite half too: at an hour you choose it closes
Teams, so still being logged in late does not read as an invitation to be interrupted.
How it works
- Sends a one-pixel mouse movement or an F15 key press, but only after you have genuinely
stopped touching the machine. While you are typing it does nothing.
- Asks Windows not to blank the display while it is running.
- Opens and closes Teams and Zoom on a weekly schedule you set.
- Will not close Teams if the application looks busy; the scheduled close waits instead.
