Stop your Mac sleeping during Zoom, Teams, and Meet calls

Few things are worse than your Mac dozing off in the middle of a long call because you were listening, not clicking. Keepresso's Meetings preset fixes that: it keeps your Mac awake whenever the camera or microphone is in use, so you never drop out mid-meeting.

Turn it on

Open Keepresso, apply the Meetings preset, and you are done. From then on, the moment any app starts using the camera or the mic, your Mac stays awake, and it goes back to normal sleep when the call ends.

Why it beats a per-app rule

• It catches every meeting app. Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Slack huddles, FaceTime, and calls running in a browser tab, which an app-name rule cannot see. If it uses the camera or mic, it counts.
• No permission prompt. Keepresso reads only the system's "camera or mic is in use" signal, the same thing that lights the green and orange dots in your menu bar. It never opens the camera or microphone, so macOS never asks for camera or mic access.

Combine it with other conditions

The Meetings preset is a trigger like any other, so you can add more. Keep awake during calls and while on power, or and while a specific app runs. See smart triggers for how conditions combine.

Audio-only calls and playback

If you are on an audio-only call or listening to something, the Audio playing trigger keeps the Mac awake while sound is coming out, with a short grace period so a pause between tracks does not end the session.
