You were partly right, originally I used xset to prevent it to lock, did many times, but this time it wouldn't revert to the original behaviour when I logged in again.  But it seems OK now, after using xset again, with "s on" and "+dpms" but as sudo this time.

Thanks for your comments,

first the device is not a laptop but a desktop AND I am not trying to
prevent it from locking but the other way around, I want it to lock when
I am away for a a certain period of time.


Yes, I thought you did the xset commands because it locked while watching youtube and you wanted to prevent it.

So the presentation mode could be a "cleaner" solution then fiddling with xset.
