I have my “grab my ankles” plan ready

I haven't logged into Skype or teams for 1-2 weeks. But doesn't matter cause I've found my usb dongle which moves mouse few pixels every few mins so never away.

Depends on how locked down A&M has their computers. I’ve been able to install at two different firms (similar size to A&M).

Any inputs will be helpful.
