Remote Management - Accessing Remote Macbook with Blank Screen

When I use the Screen Sharing client to access a Macbook Air M2, I'm able to get to the desktop and at the same time the screen on the remote macbook goes blank for privacy.


For some reason, the screen no longer blanks when I access my M1 Macbook Pro.


Is there a setting for this screen blanking?

I found the solution.

The target macbook for the remote management session must have "Start Screen Saver when inactive" value that is equal to or less than the Turn Display Off value. Otherwise your remote session won't turn blank.
