What is the timer?

The timer is a setting that is controls how long audio stays connected after a device joins the call.

This setting is mainly privacy focused as having audio enabled at all times can be privacy risk It also helps reduce background noise in the office making sure the Video Window device is muted when not in use.

The default setting is 10 minutes but this can be changed on the Video Window Admin Portal or by contacting the Customer Success Team via email or chat.

When the timer gets to within 10 seconds of muting this will be displayed on the screen and a simple tap of the screen will extend the timer by another 10 minutes (or the duration set in the Admin Portal)
