Close Tab on Losing Visibility

Steps to enable ‘Close Tab on losing Visibility’ from the Old Control Panel.

 

This feature is particularly useful for users on the Pay Per Minute (PPM) plan, as it helps reduce streaming time and save on usage. [Select the PPM plan here].

Similar Features:

  1. The ‘AFK Warn Timeout' Feature ([See this document]).

  2. The ‘AFK Close Timeout’ Feature ([See this document].

  3. The ‘Session Duration' Feature ([See this document]).

  4. The ‘URL Expiry Date’ Feature ([See this document]).

If the 'Close Tab on Losing Visibility' and any other session expiration settings are disabled in your Config, the app can stream for extended periods without disconnection. This YouTube video demonstrates 10 hours of continuous streaming showcasing that our system has no session limits.

If a disconnection occurs, it may be due to a crash or network issue. Please contact Support for assistance in resolving the problem.

For uninterrupted streams exceeding 10 hours, consider switching to an Enterprise plan and ensure a strong, stable internet connection.
