Lets you choose, which tab will be displayed by default when the ISL Light application is started. You can choose between:

Show session invitation window as session is started
If this option is checked, an additional option to invite a client to a new session is displayed in the ISL Light application after a session is created, enabling you to immediately send your client an email with an invitation link.
The default value is: unchecked. A new session is created in a new window, so even if you leave this option unchecked you will have an option to send your client an invitation from the session window or tell them the session code in any other way (over the phone, sms, etc.).
This is a default email template, you can edit it in any way you wish, just leave the invitation link as is, so that your client can connect to a session with a single click.
Show welcome tutorial on startup
If this option is selected, helpful tips will be displayed once ISL Light is started, helping you navigate and explain the most important options and buttons.
The default value is: unchecked
Close join session window once session is ended
ISL Light automatically closes after the session, in which you connected with the Join Session option, ends.
Session
Pin toolbar in fullscreen
If this option is selected, the toolbar will be automatically pinned to the screen when entering fullscreen mode.
Position of the toolbar while in session
ISL Light will show the toolbar in the "top", "right" or "left" position during the remote desktop session. Changing the toolbar position via the toolbar during the session stores the changed position so that it is persistent even after ISL Light is closed.
Inactivity time in minutes before session is ended (0 is unlimited).
ISL Light will monitor the activity of the Operator. If the Operator is inactive for more than a specified amount of time, the session is automatically closed.
File transfer in progress (even if paused) will keep the session active even if the Operator is inactive.
Duration in seconds of inactivity warning before session is ended (0 will not show the warning).
If a number is specified, a warning will be displayed before a session is terminated due to inactivity, allowing the operator to continue the session.

Enabling this option allows ISL Light to attempt a Direct Connection between the operator and the client, with the remote session bypassing ISL Online servers. This configuration reduces latency by enabling the use of the most efficient connection route. For additional details, refer to the Direct Connection documentation.
