How to keep client computer unlocked when connected to another via RDP?

Is there a way to prevent the RDP client from locking when on a RDP connection to a host?

I attend meetings through RDP and it's a nuisance to have to move the mouse all the time, or the client will lock.

I have Windows Hello with a web cam that unlocks the client and the phone connected to the client, but nothing prevents the client from locking.

    Hello,

    To prevent your computer from locking during an RDP session, you might try:

    1. Adjust your computer's power and sleep settings to "Never" or longer timeouts.
    2. Disable the screen saver.

    Regards,
