Free Browser Mouse Jiggler

5 techniques including Wake Lock, Picture-in-Picture & AudioContext — keep your PC awake and your Slack, Teams & Zoom status active. No install. One click.
or press Space to toggle
If the primary method didn't keep Teams or Slack active for you, this backup method is a guaranteed physical solution. Open this page on your phone, tap Start Animation, then place the bottom of your mouse directly on your phone's screen. The moving black-and-white stripes trick the mouse's optical laser sensor into registering continuous movement — simulating real mouse activity at the hardware level, which resets the OS idle timer every single second.
⚠️ Mouse not tracking? Phone screens are glossy — place a thin sheet of white paper over your phone screen first. The paper gives the optical sensor the texture it needs to track reliably. Works instantly.
Click Start
Activates all 5 techniques instantly. No settings needed.
Allow PiP (optional)
Click Allow when prompted for Picture-in-Picture for the most reliable experience.
Stay Green
Minimize the tab. Your PC stays awake and Teams stays Available indefinitely.

What Is an Online Mouse Jiggler?
An online mouse jiggler is a browser-based tool that prevents your computer from detecting an idle state — keeping your screen on, your Slack status green, and your Microsoft Teams status showing Available. Unlike hardware USB jigglers ($15–50) or PowerShell scripts requiring admin rights, a browser mouse jiggler runs entirely in your web browser with zero installation.
KeepAwake uses five simultaneous techniques to achieve the most reliable coverage across all browsers and operating systems — including Wake Lock API, Picture-in-Picture video, and an AudioContext silent tone.
How to Keep Microsoft Teams Status Active
Microsoft Teams automatically switches your status from Available (green) to Away (yellow) after approximately 5 minutes of OS-level inactivity. This means Teams isn't just watching your interaction with the Teams app — it monitors whether your entire system is idle.
KeepAwake addresses this at three levels: the Wake Lock API directly prevents the OS from dimming or locking the screen; the Picture-in-Picture video creates a floating window that forces the display active even when your browser is minimized; and the AudioContext tone maintains an active media session which many operating systems treat as ongoing activity.
For Teams Web users, Microsoft released a new setting in December 2025: "Keep my current status when I'm active outside of Teams on the web" under Settings → Notifications & Activity → Presence. Enabling this alongside KeepAwake gives you the most reliable always-green status.
Free Alternative to PowerShell Mouse Jiggler
Many WFH workers search for "powershell mouse jiggler" hoping to find a no-install solution. PowerShell scripts can simulate activity but require execution policy permissions, admin rights in many corporate environments, and technical knowledge. KeepAwake achieves the same result — and more — from any web browser, with no permissions required. If your company laptop blocks PowerShell script execution, KeepAwake is your best alternative.
Keep Slack, Zoom & Google Meet Active Too
All major communication platforms — Slack, Zoom, Google Meet, Webex, and Discord — rely on the same OS-level idle detection as Teams. By preventing your computer from going idle, KeepAwake keeps your status active across all of them simultaneously. You only need one tool running.
Is It Safe to Use?
KeepAwake runs entirely inside your web browser, installs no files, and appears only as a browser tab in your system's process list. It collects zero personal data. The only consideration is your employer's remote work policy — we recommend using it for legitimate purposes like staying available during focused work, long reads, or calls where you're not typing.
Who Is KeepAwake For?
KeepAwake is built for anyone whose work depends on staying digitally visible. That includes remote employees who need to keep Teams green during long focus sessions, hybrid workers who need their Slack status to stay Active while working from a second device, presenters and trainers who need their screen to stay on without touching the keyboard, and IT-restricted employees who can't install software but can open a browser tab.
It's also the go-to solution for anyone who has searched for a PowerShell mouse jiggler alternative and found the scripts too technical, or searched for a free USB mouse jiggler alternative and found the hardware too expensive. KeepAwake costs nothing and requires nothing except a browser.
Works on Every Major Platform
KeepAwake is compatible with Windows 10, Windows 11, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux. It works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. The best experience — with full Wake Lock API support and all 5 techniques active — is on Chrome or Edge on a desktop or laptop computer. Firefox and Safari use a highly effective fallback stack of Picture-in-Picture, AudioContext, and Canvas animation that works on the majority of systems.
For mobile users on Android, Chrome's Wake Lock API support means KeepAwake can prevent your phone's screen from dimming during presentations or video calls. On iOS, Canvas and AudioContext techniques provide partial coverage.
The Right Tool for Remote Work in 2025
The modern remote workplace runs on presence signals. A green dot on Microsoft Teams tells your team you're reachable. An active status on Slack means messages get answered. An available indicator on Zoom means calls get picked up. When these signals go dark — even temporarily, even for legitimate reasons — the perception of availability suffers.
KeepAwake gives you control over those signals without requiring you to constantly babysit your computer's idle timer. Read a 50-page report without touching your mouse. Attend a video call on your phone without your desktop showing Away. Think through a difficult problem without your screensaver interrupting your train of thought. KeepAwake runs silently in the background, handling the idle timer so you don't have to.
Whether you call it an online mouse jiggler, a browser mouse mover, a keep-awake tool, or a Teams status keeper — KeepAwake is the free, no-download, no-install answer. Open it, click Start, and forget it's there.
