​
Overview

The Calls SDK automatically handles idle session timeouts to prevent abandoned calls from consuming resources. Default behavior (participant alone in session for 180 seconds):
  1. At 120 seconds: Warning dialog appears with “Stay” or “Leave” options
  2. At 180 seconds: Call auto-terminates if no action taken
Customize the timeout period using setIdleTimeoutPeriod(seconds) in CallSettingsBuilder.

​
Session Timeout Flow

The onSessionTimeout event fires when the call auto-terminates due to inactivity.
