Add slideshow autopause on user interaction

It would be awesome if Displagent could pause it's slideshow for a few minutes if it detected user interaction on a report, then resume the slideshow progress ~5 minutes after interaction ceased.
We have large touchscreens in some offices and this would allow people to interrogate a report without breaking the slideshow or getting frustrated when displagent moves on to the next page whilst they are still interacting.
It would be more work, but an extra nice to have would be floating back/forward and pause button that appears on mouse movement/touch to allow a bit more user control, but still force a no-interaction timeout and slideshow resume (say 30 minutes later).

Dave Thanks for this feature request, this is a super interesting idea...
A few questions for you:
- In your example, is the 5 minute timeout and 30 minute timeout referring to the same force-resume feature, or did I misunderstand? My apologies, I'm a little unclear on that.
- Regarding the autopausing for user interaction, do you have a certain type of user interaction in mind? I don't know that I would want to pause the slideshow just because the mouse moved, but I could see that functionality for a mouse click, for example. Your thoughts?

Daniel Miradakis Sorry, yep the 5 or 30 minute timeout would be for the same force resume feature. I'm imagining a scenario where someone just drills into a report or touches some charts to cross-filter out of interest then walks away for the 5 minute one, and a scenario where someone might want to do a quick presentation/huddle in front of the screen and can force the screen to remain static. I think the 5 minute scenario is the most likely and probably easiest to implement as it requires no UI :)
Interaction for autopausing. Yep, would be good to avoid mouse movement. Touch/mouse click would be perfect.

Dave thanks for your feedback here! How big of a priority is this particular issue for you?

Daniel Miradakis It's not a critical feature, but it would help increase the value of our reports. https://displagent.canny.io/feature-requests/p/slideshow-update-listeners is more urgent for us.
