Team Alive
Keep Microsoft Teams Available while you're still working
TeamAlive is a lightweight open-source Python utility that prevents Microsoft Teams from switching your status to "Away" while you're actively working away from the keyboard. Perfect for developers reading documentation, watching technical talks, debugging on another device, or doing focused work that doesn't involve constant mouse movement.
I built TeamAlive after getting frustrated with Microsoft Teams showing me as "Away" even when I was deep into work.
Sometimes I'm reading documentation, sketching system designs, or testing on another machine. Teams assumes I'm idle, even though I'm fully engaged.
So I built a tiny Python utility that keeps my presence active without modifying Teams itself.
It's completely open source, easy to inspect, and simple to run.
I'd love your feedback and ideas for improving it.
