Tips & Tricks for the Work From Home gang

[xXOGLEGENDXx]

If you want to keep your computer on and always stay online then use these tips. You can play video games, watch movies and run errands and not have to worry about your laptop shutting off or your status showing as Away for 2hrs.




1.
Move Mouse - Software that automatically clicks and moves your mouse around so you can always show as active and not have your laptop lock

2.
Use PowerPoint - Launch PowerPoint and just start a random presentation full screen. Then press "Alt+Tab" on the keyboard and navigate out of the presentation by clicking on any open window. Open the Task Manager and minimize all PowerPoint windows. The presentation will be running in the background and Windows won't lock itself or turn off the screen because you are still presenting.

3.
Microsoft Teams - Set up a fake meeting and invite just yourself. Start the call and just stay in it as long as you want. Your status will always show busy and your screen won't turn off or lock because you're in a meeting.

4.
Vaydeer Mouse Jiggler - You could buy this USB Mouse Jiggler from Amazon. It is recognized as a mouse and just keeps moving to keep your screen on.

Thank you breh. I can’t install any software and the IT team monitors what websites we visit so options 2-4 are beneficial.

Can also just get your work done efficiently and then actually have downtime without risk of being fired as opposed to needing to act like you are working 8 hours a day

Or just don’t be a typical slouch and just do some work

Edit 3 doesn’t even make sense. If you invite yourself to a meeting management can just see who’s in the meeting from your outlook Calendar. You can just set yourself to Busy or DnD

 

[TRUEST]

Can’t believe y’all talking about playing games in this once in a lifetime chance.

Just like Covid came through and changed the world, some other new event can happen that’ll make u wish u spent ur free time doing something productive. U coulda be taken a fun course online. Just have that sh1t in the background. Do one slide an hour or whatever pace u want. Before u know it you’ll find yourself entranced with a topic u wouldn’t have expected and more empowered to battle the future.
