Title:
Screen blanking not inhibited in hangouts/videos
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Coming from upstream with the request for more people to test it.
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=783737
Following are the steps followed to reproduce the issue.
------------
1. Started a Hangouts call in a new browser tab https://hangouts.google.com
2. Didn't move the mouse.
3. Observed that chrome did not dimm out and turn off while being on the
Hangouts call.
I followed those steps and and Chrome/Chromium 62 and 64 it dims the
screen. However, upstream wasn't able to reproduce.
Can someone else help test it and see if it works or not?
Thank you!
