Specify timeout for websocket connection

I'm using Marfusios' websocket-client and I'm trying to specify a timeout period for establishing the connection, but I'm unsure how, or if it's even possible. The GitHub demonstrates creating a factory for some client settings, but there are no options for specifying a timeout period

c#
// Param: Func<ClientWebSocket>? clientFactory

var factory = new Func<ClientWebSocket>(() => new ClientWebSocket
{
    Options =
    {
        KeepAliveInterval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5),
        Proxy = ...
        ClientCertificates = ...
    }
});
var client = new WebsocketClient(url, factory);

c#
// Param: Func<ClientWebSocket>? clientFactory

var factory = new Func<ClientWebSocket>(() => new ClientWebSocket
{
    Options =
    {
        KeepAliveInterval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5),
        Proxy = ...
        ClientCertificates = ...
    }
});
var client = new WebsocketClient(url, factory);

One client constructor gives the option for a connectionFactory, where a cancelation token can be provided, but I'm unure how to use it (I'm still pretty fresh to C#):

c#
Func<Uri, CancellationToken, Task<WebSocket>>? connectionFactory

c#
Func<Uri, CancellationToken, Task<WebSocket>>? connectionFactory

1. Skip WebSockets libraries and use SignalR if you can. 2. There are too many WebSockets libraries out there, so just pick up one that has rich documentation.

Yea, I noticed there are quite a few. Websocket.Client had the most downloads (2m+) so I just went with that one I’ll look at SignalR though
