HP Envy laptop x360 Convertible 13

I want to somehow either lock or disable (temporarily) the built in keyboard. This is whilst playing a video (whilst mirrored to a smart tv). I'm having to rest my laptop in my lap whilst playing it, and don't want to accidentally bump a key. I'm running  WINDOWS 10
