how to enable presentation mode in sway windows manager

In this week, I moved to sway from gnome.
I set up my system in sway. It looks good. But I have a problem with presentation.
My work usually need to use presentation slides.

I have some configuration in ~/.config/sway/config file like this;

exec swayidle -w \
	timeout 300 'swaylock -f -e' \
	timeout 305 'swaymsg "output * dpms off"' \
	resume 'swaymsg "output * dpms on"' \
	before-sleep 'swaylock -f -e'

# Multi Head Setting
output eDP-1 pos 0 0 res 1366x768
output HDMI-A-2 pos 1370 0 res 1920x1080

Because of swayidle, while I am doing presentation, the screen goes off and get locked.

Could you please advice any idea so I can setup properly without losing any of both functions of "screen turns off then get locked" and "presentation mode if I connect external monitor or am using libreoffice impress presentation mode".

Is it possible by using System service files and Udev rules, I'm not sure, just thinking.
