Idle

The Idle Detection feature automatically identifies when a user is idle based on the following criteria:
  • No interaction with the keyboard, mouse, or screen
  • Activation of a screensaver
  • Locking the screen
  • Computer screen dimming due to inactivity

Important Note: If there are other users in the same audio zone and you meet the idle detection criteria, you will not be marked as idle. This feature only activates when you are alone in your audio zone.

To enable  this feature, go to the User Settings and tick Idle Detection.

Availability:  This feature is currently available in the Kumospace Desktop App.
