Always On Teams

Prevents the system from sleeping and keeps Microsoft Teams active.

What's New in v1.0.3 Important: Teams' new web address Microsoft is moving Teams on the web from teams.microsoft.com to teams.cloud.microsoft. This update supports both addresses. Chrome will ask you once to approve access to the new address, and the extension stays off until you click "Re-enable". New Features Keeps your screen on - While the extension is running, your screen now stays on, so your device won't lock and Teams stays Active. Laptops may use a little more battery while it runs. Teams tab stays loaded - Chrome's Memory Saver can no longer unload your Teams tab while the extension is running, so your status won't drop when Teams sits in a background tab. Smarter schedule start - When your scheduled time begins and no Teams tab is open, the extension opens Teams for you and reminds you to sign in. It starts keeping you active as soon as you're signed in. Sign-in reminders - If your schedule is on but Teams isn't open or signed in, you'll get a reminder every 15 minutes. Click "Ignore for today" on the reminder to stop them for the rest of the day. Fewer permissions - The extension no longer asks to "Read your browsing history". It now only asks for access to Microsoft Teams and permission to show notifications. Bug Fixes Fixed clicking the extension icon opening a new Teams tab instead of showing the popup. Fixed the schedule turning the extension back on right after you clicked Stop, or turning it off right after you clicked Start. Fixed repeated notifications and new Teams tabs opening every minute during scheduled hours when Teams wasn't signed in. Fixed the Start button staying greyed out after Teams was opened automatically, until the popup was reopened. Fixed the Schedule switch showing as on when the schedule hadn't been saved. Fixed overnight schedules (for example 10 PM–2 AM) stopping at midnight. Always On Teams keeps Microsoft Teams active by simulating mouse movement and keeping your screen on. The popup lets you start or stop the extension, choose how long it runs, schedule activity for certain times, and switch between dark and light mode. Key Features Timer – choose "None" or a duration from 1–8 hours, and the extension stops automatically when the time ends. Scheduling – set start and end times and pick which days it runs. The extension starts and stops on its own during those hours. You can still click Start or Stop at any time, and your choice holds until the next scheduled start or end. Dark/Light Mode – switch between dark and light styles. Your choice is remembered. Teams Detection – the "Open Microsoft Teams" button appears when no Teams tab is open, so you can launch it directly. Troubleshooting Tips Teams tab closed - The extension only works while a signed-in Microsoft Teams tab is open. Click "Open Microsoft Teams" if the Start button is greyed out. "Waiting for a signed-in Teams tab" - Your schedule has started, but Teams isn't open or you're not signed in. Sign in to Teams and the extension starts automatically. Device still locks - Some workplaces set a lock-after-inactivity rule that no extension can override. Check with your IT team if your device locks even while the extension is running. Scheduled times - If the extension stops unexpectedly, check that the current day and time fall within your schedule. Browser issues - If features aren't responding, try refreshing the Teams tab or restarting the browser. Temporarily disabling other extensions can help rule out conflicts. Reset settings - Removing and reinstalling the extension clears stored preferences (timer, schedule, theme) if problems persist.
