Broadcasting and Screen Lock

[bradk]

Is there away to keep the screen from locking while a teacher is broadcasting. They have no access to use their PCs so the screen locks out during a broadcast to all computers.

@bradk thanks for your feedback! Just to understand the problem a little better: does the screen saver start or is the screen switched off for power savings? Or do you have some kind of automated screen locking configured? If so, how did you configure it?

I have the same problem. screen switched off for power savings.

Thanks

Does this happen in fullscreen demo mode as well or is only the window demo mode affected? I'm asking because we actually do turn off the screensaver in fullscreen demo mode but not in window demo mode.

We use "only" the Fullscreen mode and there screen power off after 10 min

I had same problem and fortunately was able to change the setting in my settings which populated to all of the users. I put the setting to 1 hr. But, when it was set to 10 minutes, the default, I had all kinds of challenges if I broadcast too long...not often...but occasionally.

I have the same problem (I open another 'topic' https://veyon.nodebb.com/topic/139/monitor-clients-goto-sleep-in-fullscreen-demo , someone can close my topic).

A temporary solution is:

• Execute from the master the command "xset -dpms" to reactivate the monitors
• Execute "xset + dpms" to leave them in their normal state

Thanks for reporting this issue. We'll add the missing code for disabling power saving mechanisms.
