I have an old #Dietz lantern that I was given by my cousin. I'm doing a project to add an on-air light to teams when in a call in Teams. This post is step one.

This has to work without IT permission, so I'm doing it from #chrome using the devtools interface. I'm kinda surprised #Microsoft hasn't tried to block this method.

My colleague also has an on air light, so I'll have two users right off the bat.

This first step just reports Busy or Available. I've yet to test it to see what it reports when I'm in a call. But the eventual goal is to have the on-air light go on automatically when the call starts.

My colleague has the fancy on-air-light I have a more #steampunk version.

He also uses #windows, which might complicate things a bit.

I already have my script to light up my LEDs as a warning before meetings, so I don't think this is a stretch to get working.
