Lots of people do this, and the employee is getting shafted most every time.

Not mine. I have youtube music videos playing all day and even when I am on my other laptop working teams on my original one is still green
Technically for a salaried employee, you'd be owed pay for the week. Yeah it is BS micromanagement in my view as someone with a lot of years and managed people. If you generally do great work and good work ethic, the person should have realized all of this and gave allowance to you. Now one thing that could play into it is if there are nit picking whiners elsewhere that jump all over stuff like this start raising hell because so and so let so and so do this and I don't get to do it.
Put a PowerPoint in present mode and you'll stay active and it'll show metrics on you being productive since it's an Office product.
You didn't hear that from me.
Thanks. Going to go do that while I go mow my lawn
oh for sure. I like to do walk and talks but anything presenting, on camera or elevated like that - clients, senior leaders - be in a professional setting.
As far as I know there are no weekly generated reports for Teams usage. We have to be in office 3 days a week so there are reports for badge usage.
That reminds me. My company had 2 floors of prime Chicago Loop office space.
We had flexibility even prior to Covid. On Fridays only 5 people consistently badged in.
2 entire floors with 5 folks. It was....spooky
Thought you would say, tape the mouse to your *** and get busy with your co-worker to keep it green.
For Teams it absolutely should. Not sure of Zoom or Webex because I don't use them.
Think about it, when presenting, do you want you computer to go to sleep? It keeps it active.
If it doesn't work for you I'm just gonna say user error or skill issue.
Teams does allow for both micro and macro usage tracking. There are a lot of built in reporting/analytics tools for daily, weekly, monthly, specific time period, etc at any level (user, team, channel, 1:1, calls, etc). There are also countless third party tools that help summarize if you don't use something like BO or PowerBI. Example of a single employee usage report straight from Teams Admin Center...
