Most monitoring systems rely only on keyboard and mouse activity. During meetings or trainings, participants may be engaged without interacting with their devices, creating false idle data.
Remote and hybrid teams often appear “idle” during calls because they aren’t typing or clicking, even while listening, presenting, or screen sharing.
This leads to:
False idle status during meetings and calls
Skewed productivity reporting & misleading trends
Time wasted on unnecessary investigations
Lower trust in monitoring accuracy
