Some APIs cannot be used with a user activation (https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/interaction.html#activation). Examples include requestFullScreen(), autoplay, window.open(). This restriction is a powerful tool for preventing annoying behavior by web pages. Unfortunately, there is no way to determine if a user activation is active. The User Activation Query API adds this ability.
