Probably want to check your policies if using a business-owned mac. Caffeinate probably violates your security policies if it’s a decent sized company.

You can lock the screen while caffeinated though.
Automatic screensaver enable after a period of inactivity is considered a fail safe control.
`caffeinate` can set assertions, the same assertions that Zoom or PowerPoint or Keynote do to stop the screen going to sleep during a meeting or presentation, the same assertions that the browsers can set during streaming video, so you absolutely can bypass whatever your admins set using `caffeinate -dmisu` which sets every assertion available.

I thought that was its primary use case these days
Why?
with sleep comes "unlock screen" ;)
Caffeinate with -u and then lock your screen. (Apple menu -> lock screen)
It'll stay connected/running/screen-on/etc but it's still locked.
Ouch! Thanks!
