Every 5 minutes it takes the current coordinates of your mouse and makes it move 1 px in any direction.
To a human user this is inconspicuous but for activity tracking systems it's sufficient.
Tested with Microsoft Teams, Skype.
You can change the time interval which is 5 minutes by default. Change to any other value in miliseconds.
You can also update the number of pixels that the mouse should travel to.
