Question

Extend Timeout Time When Removing Headset

Is it possible to extend the amount of time the headset stays on when you take off your headset to about 7 seconds. I want to take off the headset, scratch my face, and put it back on, without it going to sleep and having to wake back up and re-connect my horizon workrooms session. I have an easily removable strap for this but I have to wait a second for it to re-connect after the proximity sensor realizes I've taken it. It instantly sleeps.

I'm not finding that setting, do you have a tutorial, or a screenshot?

You could keep one hand over the face sensor to stop it from putting the headset to sleep when you scratch your face. Or put a piece of opaque tape over the sensor.

I usually pre-scratch my face before putting it on, also the part of my head under the headstrap.😜😂😂😂😂😂😂
