    I have already configured my power settings from shutting off when watching a video but whenever I am watching something on Youtube the screen still shuts off after about a minute! How do I stop it from doing this?

    In the power settings there should be an option for each plan that will determine when the screen dims and when it will turn off.

    I have already configured the power option not to shut the screen off when plugged in but it does it anyway!
