Warning Before forced inactivity disconnect with Horizon GPO

We implemented the GPO to force a disconnect after inactivity which helps us meet our audit requirements. One of the problems we are seeing is users on meetings that are watching but not interacting can be dropped. Has anyone added a popup to move your mouse a few minutes before disconnect? If so how as I am not finding a consistent way to get this to work with a win 10 scheduled task. I would love to trigger off something in DEM but I haven't found a way to do that yet either. 

So for example disconnect after inactivity GPO is set to 30 minutes at 25 minutes we want to pop up something to see if the user is still active. Think of your banking website for example but I don't need the countdown or anything fancy.

I've had this script in my bookmarks for a few years but never used it. I don't believe it prompts the user first, but it does support "presentation mode" or when an application requests that the screen not turn off (like during a video call or video playback): https://github.com/lithnet/idle-logoff
