Session Duration (Minutes)

Set a Session Duration (Minutes) for your app 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 ‘URL expiry Date' Feature ([See this document]).

2. The ‘AFK' Feature ([See this document] and [this one]).

3. The ‘Close Tab on Losing Visibility’ Feature ([See this document]).

Our system has no session duration limits and can stream for extended periods without disconnection. This YouTube video demonstrates 10 hours of continuous streaming.

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.
