Hi

I'm going to make a big theater show where all the actors have a MacBook on stage. All the computers have photo booth open so the actors can see themselves on the screen. Each computer shares a screen with an Apple TV via airplay, after which they are projected on the scene.

My problem is that when the actors shut the computer together, it usually goes to sleep. Can you keep the computer running even if the screen is closed? So it's ready when you open it again.



When we close and open them now, there is a startup time and AirPlay connection is stopped.



Hope someone can help me
