How It Works

When you watch a video on YouTube or listen to music on Spotify, your computer stays awake. This tool does exactly the same thing - it tells your browser that media is playing, which prevents your system from going to sleep.

Three Methods Combined

  • Wake Lock - Requests the browser to keep the screen active
  • Audio - Plays silent audio so the system thinks you're listening to media
  • Video - Plays a hidden video so the system thinks you're watching content

What It Prevents

  • Screen dimming and turning off
  • Computer going to sleep
  • Microsoft Teams showing "Away" status
  • Slack, Zoom, and other apps marking you as idle

Tips

  • Keep this tab open (can be in background)
  • Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux
  • Close the tab anytime to stop

Privacy

Everything runs locally in your browser. No external connections, no tracking, no data sent anywhere.

Backup Script Windows

If the browser-based solution doesn't keep Teams active, download this PowerShell script. It moves your mouse by 1 pixel every 4 minutes - guaranteed to work.

Download keep-active.ps1

Right-click the downloaded file and select "Run with PowerShell" to start.
