# Voice when the desktop locks

The TUI ends a voice call when it detects that your OS session has locked,
including while the call is connecting or retrying. Voice stays on through a
screen saver until the OS reports a lock. After unlocking, run `/voice` to
start a new call.

On Linux, the TUI follows the desktop's lock report to logind. KDE Plasma
can report a lock while its screen saver can still be dismissed without a
password, so voice may stop at the start of that grace period. In a
headless terminal or with a locker that never reports a lock, use `/voice`
to end the call before leaving.
