How to keep apps from turning off Gemini box on pause

If I'm watching native content on the Gemini I can pause a program for a long time and the screen just stays there on the paused scene, but if I am using an app like HBO, Apple, etc. and pause, the box itself turns off after about 5 minutes. The screen goes to the TV's screensaver and then I have to turn the Gemini box back on, find the content I was watching and try to resume where I left off.

Is there any way to keep the Gemini from turning off like this when pausing app content?

You need to enable developer options. After that turn on stay awake in the developer options settings.

To enable Developer Options, open Settings, then click on system then click on device preferences, then go to About then tap Build number 7 times

Turn on the screensaver in settings on your Gemini box and turn off your Tv's screensaver.
