Disabling screen saver for certain apps

When certain apps are in use, I used to be able to set my Mac to disable screen saver. This is useful, for example, when on a Zoom or Skype call. But in OS13, I can't find where to do that. Can you tell me where/how to activate that function? I'm running 13.0.1.

Mac mini, macOS 13.0

Hello jwritty,

There may be a setting in the specific app settings, but there is no setting in MacOS for this.

Thanks, Lager1. I did find a workaround, using hot corners.
