kiosk and screen stay awake

hello everyone. I have some android tablets configured with a profile with launcher. the laucher has the "stay awake" option on and also there's the other options to force stay awake when power bank or power outlet are connected, BUT is there any option to allow/force stay awake always even when the device is on battery? Or, put in another way, can I override the 30 minutes maximum display idle time? thank you.

Screen timeout can be configured at the app level if your kiosk tablets are running in single app mode AND the developer has configured it to override system settings (like the Youtube app when playing a video for example).

AFAIK, screen timeout depends on OEMs. For example, Samsung has 10min for AMOLED displays and 30min for non-AMOLED.

Thank you, what I imagined. The tablets are Samsung so yes they have max 30 minutes. The app it's just a web app I've added through the play store so can't have it programmed as "screen always on".
