Ultimately, the code below achieves moving the Mouse cursor constantly for a set duration so that the computer doesn’t go to ‘sleep’, which then enables you to always be ‘Active’ on the computer and subsequently communication tools such as Teams or Zoom. This is not dissimilar to waking up your computer from the sleep mode with a move of the Mouse. The proposed solution involves getting Python to generate a certain Mouse movement by sending signals to your operating system. Keep reading if you want to learn a somewhat more technical solution using Python which you can brag about (to someone from outside of your company, definitely not your manager). an eraser) over the ‘ENTER’ key on the keyboard (which to be fair I found the most practical). Open an application such as Microsoft Excel or Word, and place a ‘weight’ (e.g.Set a duration for the status as introduced in this article by Microsoft, which based on the writer’s experience is most likely disabled by companies to ensure ‘productivity’ (in other words, some companies do want employees to show live statues).Change the Power or Sleep setting in the operating system, which is not viable as this is most likely disabled by companies, especially on company-issued laptops or company-managed virtual platforms.If you perform a Google search, you will find that most suggested solutions to the problem involve one the following: While working from home, for various reasons, you may want to be away from your desk for a while, but you are wary that an ‘Away’ status on Teams or Zoom during business hours may not be looked upon favourably by your old-fashioned manager or colleagues alike who have not fully or truly embraced the idea of flexible working, you may start to wonder: is there a way to always appear as ‘Active’ on Teams or Zoom?Īlthough the intention is debatable, this article walks you through an easy-to-implement way to achieve this using Python. Given that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most companies have shifted to a hybrid working structure where employees are encouraged to work from home on at least some days during the week, there has been a growing reliance by companies on communication tools such as Microsoft Teams (“Teams”) and Zoom.
