Experience Settings

Control idle session handling, welcome interactions, microphone behavior, and input processing timing to fine-tune your avatar experience.

Final Touches Before Deployment

These settings define how your avatar behaves during live interaction and how the experience is sustained or terminated based on user activity.

---

AFK Timeout

Set an AFK (Away-From-Keyboard) timeout to manage idle sessions and conserve your pixel-streaming minutes.

• Open the dropdown menu under AFK Timeout.

• Select a suitable timeout duration (e.g., 1 min, 5 mins, 10 mins).

• The session will automatically end based on your selection if there’s no user activity.

To optimize your account's usage, set an AFK timeout to avoid unnecessary streaming consumption.

Welcome Message

Greet users as soon as they enter the experience with customizable welcome interactions.

Standard Welcome

• Toggle “Welcome Message” ON.

• Enable a custom welcome prompt (e.g., “Welcome the user and introduce yourself”).

• Click “Test Welcome Message” to preview it.

Vision-Based Welcome

Make the greeting more dynamic by enabling vision awareness:

• Toggle “Vision-Based Welcome Message” ON.

• Add a custom prompt (e.g., “A person approaches—welcome them and make a comment about their attire or an object they’re holding”).

• Use “Test Message” to preview how the avatar responds based on webcam input.

User Microphone Settings

Select the input style that fits your use case:

• Hands-Free Mode (WIP) Avatar listens continuously.

• Push-to-Talk Mode Activate microphone input only when the assigned key is pressed.

  • You can assign a custom key for push-to-talk functionality.

---

Processing Frequency

Control how often the avatar processes and reacts to input, allowing it to act more proactively.

• Open the dropdown menu for processing frequency.

• Choose a time interval for the avatar to periodically evaluate multimodal inputs (voice, text, vision).

• This enables agentic behavior — where the avatar can initiate interaction based on user presence or signals.

After making changes:

• Click “Save Changes”

• If you are creating an Avatar for this character for the first time, press the "Create Character" button before proceeding to the publishing step.
