$1/week, billed monthly · 30-second setup · Cancel anytime
Microsoft Teams uses activity detection to set your status. Stop typing, stop moving your mouse, and within minutes you're Away. It doesn't matter that you're on a phone call, reading a document, or thinking. To Teams, idle means absent.
For anyone using Teams, this creates constant pressure. You're doing real work — in the office, at home, or anywhere in between — but the indicator says otherwise. You start wiggling your mouse. You start worrying about what people think. You're working. Your status should reflect that.
We work directly with your Microsoft account. You sign in with Microsoft — the same way you sign in to Teams — and we handle the rest. SetStatus.io sets and maintains your status on a schedule. No tricks. No simulation. No device required.
Teams marks you Away after just a few minutes of inactivity. Your colleagues see it. Your manager sees it. So you find a workaround.
Every one of these requires you to maintain it — manually, on a specific machine, every single day. Your status should just work.
Sign in with your Microsoft 365 account. We connect using a single permission to set your presence status. We never read your messages, emails, or calendar.
Tell us your work hours, work days, and timezone. Optionally configure a lunch break. We'll keep you Available during work hours and hands-off outside them.
We run in the cloud. Throughout your work hours, we continuously maintain your Available status through Microsoft's own infrastructure. No app to keep open, no computer to leave on.
Set your start time, end time, and which days of the week you work. We switch on at the start and release your status at the end. Outside work hours, Teams behaves normally.
Set a lunch window and we'll let your status go to Away during that time, then restore Available when the break ends. Useful when you're away from your desk mid-day.
Mouse jigglers require a specific computer left running and untouched. SetStatus.io works through Microsoft's own infrastructure. Nothing touches your device. No fake activity, no screen simulation. Move between machines freely — or put them all down.
Nothing to install. No fake activity signals. Your device security, screen lock, and IT policies all run exactly as configured. We connect through the same authorization model as Teams itself — it's expected and normal.
We request only the permission needed to set your Teams status — nothing else. We cannot read your messages, emails, files, or meeting details. Your Microsoft account data is never stored on our servers.
If Teams or Microsoft resets your status, we detect it and restore it automatically. Your status is held throughout your work hours. If your Microsoft token ever expires, you'll get an email so you can reconnect immediately.
Deep in a document, on a call, reading through a brief — your status stays green regardless. No more managers wondering where you are.
In and out of meetings, switching machines, never at your desk for long. SetStatus.io doesn't need babysitting. Neither should your status.
The mental energy that used to go on a green dot goes back into your work. At $1 a week, it's the easiest decision you'll make today.
A flat $1/week, billed monthly. Turn it on when you need it, turn it off when you don't. Cancel from your dashboard in seconds — no emails, no forms, no friction.
No — and IT departments love us for this reason. SetStatus has no presence on your device at all. Your screen lock, sleep settings, and every security policy your IT team has configured all run exactly as intended. We only communicate with your Microsoft account in the cloud. Nothing on your machine is touched, bypassed, or interfered with.
SetStatus.io connects through Microsoft's standard authorization system — the same way Teams, Outlook, and other Microsoft apps authorize third-party integrations. It appears in your Microsoft account's connected apps list, which is expected and normal. There's nothing unusual to flag because there's nothing unusual happening.
No. Microsoft's developer platform explicitly supports applications that set user status on behalf of the account holder — it's a designed and documented capability. You're intentionally controlling your own status through an authorized app. That's entirely within the rules.
No — and this is an important distinction. SetStatus works entirely through your Microsoft account, not your device. We don't simulate mouse movement, generate fake keyboard input, or send any hidden activity signals. If your company monitors keystrokes, mouse activity, or screen time, none of that is affected. What your activity monitoring sees is an accurate reflection of what you're actually doing.
Only one permission: the ability to write your Teams presence status, and nothing else. We cannot read your emails, messages, files, calendar, contacts, or any other data. You can verify this in your Microsoft account under Apps & Services.
Set your status manually in Teams — any status — and SetStatus won't touch it. Teams defaults the override to expire at end of day, after which we resume automatically. Need it back sooner? Use the Duration option in the Teams status menu to set exactly how long you need, or click Reset status to clear it immediately. Either way, we pick back up within 30 minutes.
Yes. We run entirely in the cloud — your computer isn't involved at all after initial setup. Close the lid, shut it off, leave it at home. Switch to a different machine or work from your phone. As long as your Microsoft account is connected and it's within your scheduled hours, we keep your status green from our servers.
30-second setup. $1/week. Nothing to install. Works on every device — or none at all.
