How to keep Microsoft Teams active and keep the Teams icon green

Many remote workers ask how to keep Teams active and prevent Teams away. Microsoft Teams automatically changes your status to Away after a few minutes of inactivity—so learning how to keep the Teams icon green matters.

This can happen while you are:

  • downloading files
  • waiting for builds
  • reading documentation
  • attending meetings
  • watching presentations

Even though you are still working, your status may appear as inactive.

As long as NoAway is running, your system does not enter an idle state, helping your status remain Available on apps like Microsoft Teams or Slack.

This simple tool removes the stress of unexpectedly appearing Away during important work.

If you're searching for how to keep your status always online in Microsoft Teams or how you actually set Teams to always available, NoAway provides a simple one-click solution.
