In the power settings I have the display always on.
When I am trying to record Zoom webinars, the display still goes black.

How can I change something in settings so that the display NEVER goes blank?
Thanks

I always used Caffeine successfully when I was running OSX on my HP Elitebook (now it is running Zorin 16).

I also installed Caffeine to a real Macbook I gave to my mother-in-law (OSX is the only OS 90 years old can handle )
