Hi, I’m using the property “sessionIdleTimeoutMins” to extend the time the session can be active with just one person since I use this feature to make livestreams with, sometimes only one person needs to be in the call

I remember being able to make longer calls setting this property to 360, but now all my calls with a single person are automatically terminated after 40 minutes independently of the number I use in the sessionIdleTimeoutMins property

I’m not sure if this was changed in the recent updates, but the documentation [here](https://marketplacefront.zoom.us/sdk/uitoolkit/web/types/CustomizationOptions.html#sessionidletimeoutmins) doesn’t show if there is a maximum or minimum value for this

Hey. @victor10

Thanks for your feedback.

The `sessionIdleTimeoutMins` only takes effect for the session host. Please check whether the `role_type` in the JWT token is set to 1.

Thanks  
Vic
