Suggestions for keeping computer screen active while away from desk?

I work remote at a job that occasionally has quite large periods of potential down time during the day. However the general expectation is that I stay online during standard work hours so other people can easily reach out to me. I found I couldn’t even leave my desk for more than 10 minutes because my company computer will auto lock after that and show me as “Away” on teams. For the last year or so, I used Move Mouse to keep my screen active while I did chores etc around the house. However, today I found the app doesn’t work (potentially my company changing restrictions). I am currently trying out a new app called Wiggler, but I’m curious if anyone else has any suggestions for keeping your screen active while away from your computer?
