Hello again!

Maybe it’s more a suggestion than a problem, but Zoom Web SDK should keep the mobile screen on while on a meeting or webinar.  
It’s a bit annoying the need to interact with the mobile phone to keep the screen active. On a similar case, if you are watching a video on a mobile browser, the screen keeps on.

Ok, it’s possible to do some workaround to solve this, but… it’s always a workaround.

that’s integrated in all browser, but **only** for html5 video - not for WebRTC

for Chrome there is an experimental new feature

> **[Screen Wake Lock API | Can I use... Support tables for HTML5, CSS3, etc](https://caniuse.com/wake-lock)**
>
> "Can I use" provides up-to-date browser support tables for support of front-end web technologies on desktop and mobile web browsers.

so android should be possible without workaround, but not iOS
