Hello @kgroves42 ,
The easiest solution would be to create a report in Analyzer that shows the status of the Agents in real-time and then you can either share the URL with the agents to see it in a new tab or you can even embed that report in the desktop layout by following this guide.
You can, of course, achieve similar functionality with more complex solutions, i.e. creating a widget to integrate to your desktop that utilizes Search APIs, but that would require software development and far more customization.
The Team Performance gadget that Supervisors have available is not available for simple agents, so cannot be added in the Agent desktop layout.
Hope this helps!
