Overview

Users are logged out of VIDIZMO by default after a few minutes of inactivity. VIDIZMO Administrators and Managers have the option to extend this time by specifying the number of minutes. Once you have set the login timeout, users will stay logged in for the set period even if they close the browser or shut down the computer.

Manager+ roles are required to add the time in minutes specifying how long this action will retain the session.
