teams-autodisconnect

Automatically leave MS Teams call when participant count falls below a customizable threshold. Follow through installation and setup and run autodisconnect watch. This will connect to Teams, wait for you to join a meeting (you can start it while in a meeting already though) and disconnect when participant count falls below some threshold.

Setup

This project uses Chrome DevTools Protocol to connect to Microsoft Teams app, which is based on Electron. This approach relies on a condition that Teams are launched with a specific debugging flag set, enabling it is quite straightforward though:

• On Windows:

  You need to launch Teams.exe executable with --remote-debugging-port=56874 flag. The port is arbitrary, but 56874 is the default. The way I have it set up is I have a shortcut on the desktop with the above flag added to Target. You can usually find Teams.exe binary in C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\current\Teams.exe

• On Linux / MacOS / FreeBSD / Whatever:

  You should follow the same procedure as above for Windows, I don't have a mac and I don't want to boot into Linux, if someone wants to, they can fill this out. All this boils down to running Teams with --remote-debugging-port=56874 and should work on any platform that is capable of doing so.
