1. An electronic device comprising:
at least one processor including processing circuitry;
a display module;
a memory electrically connected to the at least one processor and configured to store instructions executable by the at least one processor,
wherein the at least one processor is configured, when the instructions are executed, to:
output a video object in a playback state on a partial area of the display module,
identify whether the video object is currently output on the display module, and
based on an input not being received in a specified input waiting time and in response to the video object being in the playback state but not currently output on the display module, perform an operation providing a protective screen on a full area of the display module.
