I have a MacBook Air (13-inch, 2017) Version 11.0.1 (20B50) and I would like to close the lid and have it do nothing more than turn off the display. I don't want an external monitor/keyboard connected, I just want to TeamViewer into it and work. Is this possible on Mac?

I don't think I can mark this as unsolved again but I was not able to get Amphetamine to do what I wanted, the mac always sleeps with the lid closed no matter my settings. It may work with the Amphetamine Enhanced version but that is not available through the App Store.
Is there really no way to get such basic functionality in mac without using apps that are prevented from being served on the app store?
Unfortunately I do not have and do not want a second monitor plugged into it, which seems to be key to getting that functionality.
Maybe I can look into running the enhanced version after looking into it more, it's apparently open source which is good, I was a little worried about security since this is a work machine. I appreciate your help though.
Amphetamine is probably what you are looking for.
Thanks!
I see. Let us know if you manage to make it work, please :-)
