Orion lets my Mac sleep while on a Google Meet

jcf · 23 Jan

I recently joined a Google Meet on my Mac with Orion and had to keep unlocking my computer when my automatic screen saver kicked in.

This on top of the issue reported in Google Meet - my face (and some of the faces of people talking) does not appear even though they have their video on made the call extremely difficult.

My Mac should be prevented from going to sleep and/or locking its screen while I’m on a video call.

I'm not sure it's related to Orion. We all use it with Meet, and as far as I know, this kind of mishap hasn't happened. Or at least, not recently.

Have you tried with Safari by any chance?

Yannick I was mainly using Firefox because of problems with Safari accessing a virtual camera device.

I suppose it could be related to an extension I'm running. StopTheMadness Pro, perhaps.

jcf Maybe yes ... If you have set your extensions to never run in private mode, it's a good way to quickly test (except that you have to re-log in of course)
