📢 In Chrome, we plan on no longer taking wake locks for invisible videos (see chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/2213933). This was used as a "hack" to keep the screen on, which you can do natively now with the Screen Wake Lock API: web.dev/wakelock/.

If you happen to use NoSleep.js (npmjs.com/package/nosleep.js), be sure to update to version 0.11.0: @_richtr has just merged my PR that adds native Wake Lock API support. 🎉 It'll fall back to the previous invisible video hack for browsers that don't support the new API yet.Permalink On twitter.com

The use case for keeping the screen on is _absolutely_ valid (see web.dev/betty-crocker/), which is why on the Project Fugu 🐡 team we have developed a native Web platform way to achieve this.Permalink On twitter.com
