[ENABLE CAPTIONS!] If you work remotely using your company PC in Covid-19 times you need something that will keep your PC awake and prevent from locking the screen / locking the keyboard automatically while you're at home during teleworking. You want also to prevent changing your status from Online to Away in corporate communicators ( Skype , Outlook, Teams etc.). Here is the solution that costs only 2 USD and works on every operating system...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_j... :
"The demand for mouse jigglers is being driven by employers or line managers indirectly monitoring their employees who are working from home. Communcation applications such as Microsoft Outlook, Teams, Skype; as well as Slack show the working status for everyone wthin a group. The online status displays work in a traffic light system to show others within the team if someone is available, away, offline, or busy. If these applications are used through a computer desktop (instead of a mobile device), and the user doesn't interact with their mouse, after a short period the status will display as inactive. In terms of the traffic light system, the available green status will change to inactive and orange. This is the mechanism that provides indirect monitoring of employees "
