Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Web page settings to save battery (#546)

@torgo, @LeaVerou, @rhiaro and me looked at this in our TAG Virtual F2F breakout

We believe we understand the video conferencing use-case now. Some sites get very quick user interaction and probably won't like to be throttled (A), but other sites like video conf would knows that their users have another hour of meeting left and they are low on battery so they may want to optimize for the battery to last as long as possible and hopefully until the meeting is over (B).

For (A) we think an opt in or opt out won't work, but instead a priority might, like you are going to get throttled so what matters the most to you, high framerate, background tasks, foreground tasks? Then the browser can consider those hints

For (B) an opt in might work, but we think an event that low battery mode is active makes more sense, then the vidconf site can lower video resolution etc and turn off live captions and many other things to save battery.
