Additional features, settings, or issues not covered by specific Microsoft Teams categories
Caffeine isn't useful. The problem here is that it shows you away when Team isn't focused. Caffeine can't "ping" into a specific window, to fix this **** issue.
ie- The main complaints from everybody above is that they are NOT away, they are working at their desks, but Teams shows them "away" if the Teams Window isn't in focus.
I use Citrix, Remote Desktop, etc. Guess what happens after 30 seconds of doing work in any citrix app, my RDP, Microsoft Word, Excell, etc? I am shown as "away". I program switches and routers most of the day, and do a lot of project coordination, obviously Teams isn't in focus for me, even with a dual monitor setup.
Ironically enough, if I take a coffee break or go for lunch, I will use Caffeine to ping the desktop and keep me from going away, when I am actually away.
This is a **** design on Microsofts part. They think its keeping people "accountable", but it isn't. Delinquent employees can easily work around this with Caffeine or a mouse moving macro or whatever and take the entire day off it they wanted. Legit Employees get screwed because Chrome and Edge wont detect if somebody is active.
Teams for Desktop obviously wont work for many people because of corporate firewalls, or I would easily use it.
