Fortunately, there is a much less bureaucratic and more reliable
solution: the Web browser itself can tell Ubuntu to inhibit the
screensaver.

This was implemented, for example, in VLC in 2013.

And in Firefox in 2014.

If it isn’t working for you with a particular Web browser playing a
particular type of video, please report a bug for that Web browser,
with exact steps to reproduce the problem.
