How do I avoid the Deck's display from sleeping while watching YouTube?
My display shuts down, but I can still hear audio when I'm watching YouTube or other streaming videos like content from Disney Plus. I've checked my power management settings and don't want to turn them off or have really long durations set. Is there something I'm missing?

Switch to desktop mode / set turn off display after …. in system settings to your preference. Watch YouTube in desktop mode.

It's in power management settings. You can set it for powered mode and battery mode.

I should have mentioned that I was experiencing this problem while in desktop mode. I guess you're saying that I need to adjust the "dim screen" settings there. I saw that, but was looking for a solution that would allow me to keep short durations by default and have the Deck ignore those settings if I was watching a video. Thanks!

it's a bug with firefox, the sleep should be inhibited and was inhibited in previous versions while watching videos, but something broke.
