Scsreen Saver

I am wondering how to adjust the screen saver display time in OS Monterey 12.4 for the amount of time the screen saver is displayed. Currently it only stays on for as couple of minutes. I am using a new 24" iMac.

Upon a search I found an answer saying to go to System Preferences and Energy Saver. Upon doing so I only find the adjustment for total display time. Not for the screen saver.

If I am missing something it for sure is beyond me!

Any info will be greatly appreciated. TIA

Hi!

Once the screen saver begins (as set in System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver), the screen saver will play until the time set in Energy Saver is reached. So, you should increase the time in Energy Saver, or make the screen saver appear sooner.
