      It’s important not to plug in a USB device like that into your work PC. IT can likely see what devices are used on any system.

      Instead use a physical mouse mover device that only requires power, like a USB cord plugged into a wall charger instead of the PC.

          Not the physical mover, no. If you plug a mouse jiggler thing into your work PC and it shows up as 2 mice, then IT can see the abnormality of that anyway because we don’t use 2 mice normally.

        It’s always interesting hearing from people that this works, because I could be working solid for 2 hours straight but not actually put my cursor in the Teams application and so it thinks I’m away

          I have had that happen in the past but not recently. I would think having teams be the active window while holding the key down would have the same effect though.
