Keep your iPad and Apple TV from sleeping or disconnecting during a presentation to avoid interruptions or unauthorized access.
TrialPad keeps your iPad awake while in Presentation Mode to prevent screen timeout during important moments.
You can also adjust settings to ensure the iPad and Apple TV remain active and secure throughout your presentation. This provides you the confidence that the iPad will not go to sleep in the middle of a long witness answer, or during a sidebar.
How to Keep the iPad Awake
Open Settings on the iPad.
Tap Display & Brightness.
Tap Auto-Lock.
Select Never.
Note: This will increase battery usage. Manually press the Power button to turn off the screen when needed.
We recommend you prevent your Apple TV from starting the screensaver or going to sleep when using it for a presentation.
How to Keep the Apple TV Awake
On the Apple TV, open Settings.
Go to General > Screen Saver > Start After and select Never.
Go to General > Sleep After and select Never.
To prevent another iPhone or iPad user (e.g. opposing counsel) from connecting to your Apple TV you should require a password to connect to your Apple TV.
