Microsoft Teams may show you as 'away' due to a lack of activity detection. Ensure your status is not set to 'Away' manually. Check your system settings to prevent sleep or screensaver modes from activating quickly. Additionally, use a mouse jiggler or periodically move your mouse to maintain active status. These steps help ensure you remain 'Online'.
