How do I keep the phone in camera mode indefinitely?

[Android Central Question]

I'm trying to use the stylus as a remote to capture a hummingbird in slow motion when one approaches our feeder, but after two minutes of inactivity (in slow motion mode) the phone jumps to the home screen.
Anyone know of a way to be able to just keep the phone in camera mode for however long it might take to get a hummingbird within range? To keep it from snapping back to the home screen?

Change your screen time out in settings.

Unfortunately it's not possible with a Samsung phone, I don't have time to link the thread but we've had this discussion on the forums in the past.

It doesn't matter the model or the software version, Samsungs camera app auto shuts down after a few minutes of inactivity.

Using Samsung flow to control the phone from another device like a tablet would be a possible work around, as it would allow you to reopen the camera app remotely when it closes/as needed.

Thanks for linking that, didn't have time to search while on my break. It's the exact thread I was thinking of.
