Another option is to run a Powershell command like this:
while ($true) {
[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait(“{F15}”)
Start-Sleep -Seconds 300
}
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.
