    [Monitors] Monitor goes to sleep when watching YouTube

    Having a problem when watching long YouTube videos. My monitor is going to sleep. I don't see any setting to toggle this behaviour. It's good that the monitor would sleep, but it shouldn't happen when watching a video, right? I'm watching YouTube in the Firefox flatpak app. I don't recall this happening with the previous snap installation.

    External monitor, or is this a laptop? Specs of either please. And, what version of Kubuntu are you running?
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.
    Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

      FF *should* report to the OS/Plasma that it is playing a video, even if it isn't full-screen iirc. Not sure if this issue you see is flatpak thing or not.
      I see it sometimes in the deb packages for the browser, but not when playing a movie using a video player.

      But you can toggle this off/on from the battery or Power Management icon in your system tray if it is acting up.
