Universal control avoids screensaver

I own two MacBook Pro: 2021 M1 Pro 16' and 2020 4-Thunderbolt 13'.

While using the latest Universal Control between these two MacBooks, the SIDE MacBook (apart from the MAIN MacBook which the trackpad was used) won't get into screensaver after timeout by being idle.

Checked that Universal Control was the sole application that avoided the device from sleeping when idle.

The current solution is manually put the SIDE one to sleep but I prefer them to show the beautiful screensavers. Any thoughts?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.3

Screensaver not initiating after inactive timer I have a Mac Mini M1 running Ventura 13.1. I have the screen saver/Lock Screen timer inactive timer set at 10 minutes, display off timer for 1 hour. The computer can sit a long time beyond these offsets, but won't go into screen lock / screen save mode. Is there a bug in this feature? Never had a problem with it before.

Manually advancing photo screensaver? I'm Currently on Mac 12.1 on a M1 Mac Mini 2020. I connect this mini to my living room TV and during the holidays, i put on the photo screensaver filled with all family memories (while playing holiday music on the music app). I've been doing this for years and it's always a big hit. EXCEPT: when people are sitting down, someone misses a picture and wants to see it again. On my old Mac Mini (mid 2011 running 10.13.6) i could use the left/right arrow keys to rewind/fastforward the photos. Now using those arrows wakes the computer from the screensaver. I know this is remarkably small, but it's incredibly frustrating. Does anyone know a workaround or another photo-screensaver app that can be used?
