Slack Green - Background Mouse Jiggler for Slack and Teams Active Status

Stay green on Slack and Microsoft Teams. Teams for the web stays Available after you close its tab, and one dashboard runs both.

Ever jiggled your mouse just to stay green on Slack or Teams? Slack Green keeps your Slack status active and your Microsoft Teams status Available during the hours you pick, with no mouse to move. Teams stays green after you close the tab Open Teams for the web in Chrome once and click Allow Teams in the add-on. After that you can close the Teams tab, and Teams keeps showing you as Available while Chrome stays open, until Teams asks you to sign in again. In our test, a personal account on Teams for the web went Away after 5 minutes with no input. With the add-on it stayed Available for all 20 minutes, and for 10 more minutes after the Teams tab was closed. Slack and Teams on one dashboard Your Teams account sits on the slack.green dashboard next to your Slack workspaces. Each one gets the same schedule, Pause and Keep me online controls, so you set your working hours once and both apps follow them. Slack runs in the cloud Our servers keep your Slack status active on your schedule, even when your laptop is closed. The add-on hands your Slack session to slack.green when you connect a workspace. How to set it up 1. Add Slack Green to Chrome and sign up at slack.green. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, and no card is needed. 2. Open your Slack workspace in Chrome and connect it from the slack.green dashboard. 3. For Teams, open Teams for the web in Chrome and click Allow Teams in the add-on. Chrome asks once for the Teams sites. 4. Pick your hours on the dashboard. Keep the add-on installed for Teams, because Teams runs from your browser. Teams is included in your Slack Green plan. Your Teams sign-in stays in your browser The add-on talks to Microsoft straight from Chrome. slack.green never gets your Teams password or sign-in token. It gets only the add-on version and a one-word status for your dashboard, such as Available or no Teams tab open. The add-on reads no messages, chats, calls, files or browsing history. Pause it on the dashboard and Teams works as before. Why your status turns away Slack marks you away after about 10 minutes without input, and Teams for the web shows you Away after about 5. Setting yourself to active by hand does not stop that timer. Apps that keep your computer awake do not help either, because they do not count as input in Slack or Teams. Your work is not measured by a colored dot next to your name. Step away for coffee, and we'll keep the light on. Questions? Visit slack.green or write to support@slack.green.
