How to trick teams into not going into Idle mode?

So I work in a Fortune 500 company…and shocker, I do not have nearly enough work to fill up the workday. (Nor do I wish to). I have been accomplishing all my tasks and getting praise, but also spending a good amount of time playing video games etc, going for walks. My one issue is making sure I don't appear idle or offline on Microsoft teams. Any advice/workarounds? I have found keeping the laptop plugged in will make sure it does not go into sleep mode, but teams still says idle or away even after I set a “busy status” for the whole day.
