Slack Auto Away Prevention: Never Show Away on Slack Again
Keep your Slack status active automatically, even when you step away from your desk. Perfect for remote workers, freelancers, and anyone who needs to maintain an active presence on Slack.
The Slack Away Status Problem
Slack automatically marks you as "away" after just 30 minutes of inactivity. This can happen when you're:
- In a meeting or on a phone call
- Working on tasks that don't require your computer
- Taking a short break but still available
- Working across multiple devices
An away status can make you seem unavailable or unresponsive, potentially affecting your professional reputation and team communication.
