This tool lets people around you know if you are busy working/attending meetings/videocalls on your computer.
WARNING: This only works on my PC at the moment since I haven't been able to find a cross-platform library to report microphone/camera usage. If you can help me out regarding this, then please sound off in this project's issues
Checks the Microphone/Camera usage on your computer to check if you are busy. Acts as a MQTT client to disseminate your busy status to other devices.
Made for and tested on a Ubuntu 20.04 system. Other OS support soon.

Have a MQTT broker running on the network. Preferably locally.
