--- Comment #7 from goo <[email protected]> ---
seems like the natural place for this is in the power management widget right
under the check box for

[  ] Manually block sleep and screen locking

which already effectively prevents the need for entering the password and keeps
the machine awake and ready to take notes, but does nothing to dim the screen.

so adding another check box to also allow the screen to darken and eventually
turn off to save more energy would give the full functionality desired here.

[  ] Privacy darken screen 

when only the first box is checked you have "watch a video mode" and when only
the last box is checked you have a super aggressive "screen privacy mode", but
when both check boxes are enabled you effectively have a "taking notes in class
or in a meeting mode".

timers for "privacy darken mode" could be added to the settings page for power
management under Screen Energy Savings to control how quickly it goes dark and
how soon it switches off the screen when the check box is enabled.

going further towards discovery, i can imagine these  options also being
visible  in a calendar event setting so these check boxes are enabled
automatically for the duration of calendar event and then returned to their
prior state at the end.
