Like any other software that displays the user's status, Zoom will log off the user if Windows goes to sleep. Even though working remotely brings personal life into the professional one, your computer going to sleep mode during an important meeting is not a thing to look forward to. If you are looking for a way to simulate your presence and prevent Zoom from being shut down, NoSleepWhileZoom is your answer — a tiny application that can prevent your windows from going to sleep.

First, the app requires no installation, so your drive will stay clean. Secondly, when launched, a small interface will pop up. Set it up and minimize it in order to remain active. Once you hit the close button, the process will quit.

When minimized, the app will reside on the taskbar. Bring it up each time you wish to alter the simulation settings or timing.

NoSleepWhileZoom allows the user to prevent sleep for any amount of time. The default value is set to 180 minutes, but if you wish to be safe you can raise that number at any time.

You have two simulation methods to take advantage of — one that can simulate mouse clicks and another for Shift key pressing. After all, details are in order you can press Start to begin the simulation.

One neat fact about this tool is that Zoom is not a requirement. If you are interested in applying this simulation for any other tool, you can easily do that, just make sure you check the last box, the one that excludes Zoom from the equation.

NoSleepWhileZoom is a simple tool handy to prevent the Windows from going to sleep, keeping your status during Zoom meetings. However, this tool can be used freely, making its connection to the Zoom app purely coincidental, or even arbitrary.
