Bug Description
Coming from upstream with the request for more people to test it.
https:/
Following are the steps followed to reproduce the issue.
------------
1. Started a Hangouts call in a new browser tab https:/
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!

I can confirm screen blanking is not inhibited. Tested with chromium 63.0.3239.40 (PPA build for beta channel) on Ubuntu 17.10. Screen dims and then blanks when watching videos.
