Shell script to detect when you're on a Microsoft Teams Call.

When calling the script it will exit with

• 0 if you're on a call
• 1 if you're not

import teams_call

isInCall = teams_call.isInCall()

You don't wanna know.

When I connect to a call I see eventData: s::;m::1;a::1 in ~/Library/Application\ Support/Microsoft/Teams/logs.txt and when I disconnect it writes eventData: s::;m::1;a::3. Sad, but you asked for it. Couldn't find any other way. Specifically, the GraphQL API for checking the call presence is deprecated since v1.0 and I didn't want to scrape the network traffic or screengrab the status icon.

• eventData: s::;m::1;a::0 call in call + screen is shared
• eventData: s::;m::1;a::1 call started / joined
• eventData: s::;m::1;a::3 call left

I couldn't find a script that does this. Using it to indicate that I'm busy with a status LED outside the office.

Using this script in combination with ControlPlane to trigger the LED on status change.

Supports macOS and Linux. For Windows, see this project.
