Since updating to MAC OS Sierra I've noticed that my screensaver activates when using FaceTime - most annoying as I have to quickly move the mouse to bring it all back again. The screensaver cuts in every 5 minutes or so.

It didn't do this before I updated from El capitan so i'm assuming it's something to do with MacOS Sierra.
It doesn't do it with Youtube but I am yet to try it with Skype.

Screensaver works as it should do with an ordinary app (e.g. safari, Pages etc) if i don't move the mouse or keyboard in the specified time (five minutes).

I have no hot corners set, the display is set to turn off (energy prefs is system) after 10 minutes. Screensaver is set for five minutes of inactivity.

I have a 27" iMac retina, first generation (just under two years old) with i5 and 16 gig memory, standard M290X graphics.

Am I missing an easy setting here?
