> Given this would require an explicit user gesture, there would presumably need to be some text to prompt the user to increase brightness.

Would permission prompt text suffice for advisory text? As an aside in my experience it makes sense to explain to the user what's happening and why in addition to any browser based prompts. Having access to max brightness would be useful - if this is permission gated (via user gesture or feature policy) then setting that value sounds like it wouldn't unduly increase fingerprint surface. -- GitHub Notification of comment by willmorgan Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/screen-wake-lock/issues/335#issuecomment-1157351940 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
