My work laptop has the group policy locked so I can't change the sleep settings on it but it goes to sleep after 5 minutes of not touching it, which is starting to get annoying when I'm trying to play video games instead of working.
Can anyone think of any creative methods of keeping the laptop alive without the ability to download any third party applications

Unironically a fantastic idea.

I'm sitting here laughing hysterically at work. This is hilarious and brilliant.

It can literally be a 5 second loop of nothing.

You don't even have to download anything. Start a video call with nobody else in it.

If it's anything like mine then I have to enter my credentials again to get back in. Annoying and unnecessary as I'm currently working from home.

if your company restricts your ability to change your sleep settings, i'd be paranoid about them recording your activity or keystrokes or something as well

anyway... you might try seeing what triggers your mouse. maybe you can put an animation or something under it

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
