Hello I'm curious if anyone is having issues with the screen turning off when watching videos. I just got a s25 ultra and whenever I have YouTube or a site like Netflix open the screen will time out after a short period of time. This was not an issue with my old phone a s23 ultra. I don't want to set my screen timeout to be longer or use the facial detection mode because it doesn't work in a dark room. Is there a way to set it so that the screen doesn't time out when playing media?

What does your screen timeout setting have in time to go to screen saver?

I set it to 10 minutes because i got annoyed having to tap my screen every 30 seconds. It still times out when I'm watching shows though

Put it on AOD while watching videos and then turn it off.

Go to settings/display/screen timeout then toggle on "Keep screen on while viewing".

I notice this with increasing frequency when watching short videos on my A54. I thought it was because the front camera couldn't follow my eye movement in a darkened room. I have not watched a program, though, yet since this started happening.

I did watch a whole show, and it did not time out on me. The whole timing out on short videos is new for me, though
