If not actions are performed by mouse and keyboard. Users can continue the session by click on anywhere on the screen and continuing the session.

2.2 Queue screen displays with count down 1,2,3 and Car configuration displays.
2.3 If the session is idle for the time set in the Control Panel, the AFK warnTimeout(Minutes) then displays a warning message ‘Are you still streaming?’ continue streaming (AFK timeout) button displays (image 7).
2.4 The count down displays in the popup and when the AFK close timeout reaches the session it terminates and the user is kicked out of the session.
