In an effort to improve the user-experience of watching videos in full screen mode, I have created a patch which adds a new CSS style attribute: -webkit-cursor-visibility. When set to "auto-hide", this rule would change the cursor type to "none" after a few seconds of inactivity. UAs could then add this rule to their UA full screen style sheets for full screened video elements, but this rule can be overridden by site authors to handle hiding the cursor (or not) themselves. Sites which do not hide the cursor during playback in full screen mode (e.g. YouTube) would get this behavior for free, and sites which do (e.g. vimeo) can continue to explicitly hide the mouse cursor when hiding their custom controls.<br>

This new attribute is not currently hidden behind a feature flag.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Could you add either build or runtime flag?</div><div><br></div><div>- R. Niwa</div><div><br></div></div>
