KeepActive: Keep Active on Teams & Keep Screen Awake

Keep your screen awake and send gentle activity to Microsoft Teams on the web. Work schedules, Smart Pause, no tracking.

KeepActive keeps your screen awake and stops your computer from going to sleep while Chrome is open: ideal for presentations, dashboards, long downloads and reading. It also helps keep a Microsoft Teams web tab from going idle during passive work, with gentle, human-paced activity that runs only on the schedule you choose. Touch your keyboard or mouse and it steps aside instantly. WHY PEOPLE USE IT • Presentations, dashboards and monitoring screens that must stay on. • Long downloads, renders, uploads and reading sessions. • Keeping a Teams web tab from going idle during long passive work sessions. WHAT IT DOES • Keep screen awake: asks Chrome to keep the display on while KeepActive is active. • Teams on the web activity: small randomized pointer moves, Shift taps and focus pings every 60–150 seconds, plus an optional click on the empty page background. It never clicks buttons, links or inputs, never types text and never reads messages. • Work schedules: runs only on the days and hours you pick, including overnight shifts. • Smart Pause: pauses while you are working and resumes after your chosen idle delay. • One-click toolbar switch, Alt+Shift+S shortcut, session safety limit and local diagnostics. HOW TO USE 1. Pin KeepActive to the toolbar and switch it on. 2. Keep a Microsoft Teams web tab open (a normal tab works best). 3. Optional: set a work schedule and Smart Pause delay in the Control Deck. FAQ Is KeepActive a mouse jiggler? It is a software alternative: no hardware, and it never moves your real cursor. It keeps the display awake and sends small activity events only inside Teams web tabs. Does it work with the Teams desktop app? No. It works with Teams in Chrome (teams.microsoft.com and teams.cloud.microsoft). Will it keep my Teams status green? It helps prevent the tab from going idle, but Microsoft controls presence, so no status is guaranteed. Does it collect my data? No. No accounts, analytics, ads or tracking. Settings stay in your browser. Can it bypass my company's lock screen or policies? No. It does not bypass screen lock, Intune, Group Policy, MDM or EDR. Requires Chrome 116 or newer.
