Hello @PyGuy, You may be able to use something like this: > [@New websocket component: DashSocketIO](https://community.plotly.com/t/new-websocket-component-dashsocketio/82774): > > Hello everyone wave I have just created a new dash component [dash-socketio](https://github.com/renaudln/dash_socketio), to go hand-in-hand with flask-socketio. It allows to do some pretty cool things with Dash like notifying the user of progress while a callback is running, or streaming outputs while a callback is still running. See below a GIF of usage.py in the repo. This is a toy example with the above 2 usecases implemented. [dash-socketio-usage] Hopefully this can be useful to some of the community! Basically, on a db you keep track of the last callback executed by the user, could listen on the server using the flask.before\_request method to do that. Then have a function that checks logged in users and their last activity time, if it is outside of the time frame, then you send a message and when the message is received it causes them to log out. This might be easier to perform on something like a quartz server too, but a little more tricky to have the socket have the user info, since that info is in a different server. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.plotly.com/t/dcc-interval-update-when-not-in-focus/82903)._
