Preview window

Controls the behaviour of the Preview Window.

configuration settings interface preview window

The main Preview Window is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible, so will automatically hide once a call is answered and in progress. Hovering over the Menu Bar icon will bring the Preview Window back into view during a call.

The default hide delay is 10 seconds but can be increased or disabled (set to "infinite") to keep the Preview window permanently in view for the duration of the call.

The Preview Window will display in front of other windows but without taking focus from the current application in use. When "Always on top" is enabled the Preview Window will remain in view whilst continuing to work on the current application.
