Avoid the annoyance of a screen turning off at the worst moment
In situations like giving a presentation or cooking while following a recipe, having the auto-sleep feature kick in can be genuinely disruptive. Adjusting the setting ahead of time prevents this hassle.
Worried about camera or mic issues during a presentation too?
It's worth testing your camera and microphone ahead of time as well, since a working screen doesn't help much if the other side can't see or hear you clearly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to switch the setting back afterward?
Yes -- once you no longer need it, it's a good idea to restore the original setting to save battery.
Does leaving the screen on all the time cause burn-in?
OLED screens carry some risk of image retention if the same content stays on-screen for a long time, so it's best to only use this setting when you actually need it.
