tried a bunch of solutions online but nothing worked, is there a way to get full screen videos to work while they are behind other full screen windows ? it always gets paused
Description of the issue: How can this issue be reproduced?
open a full screen video, open a different instance of brave browser above it not as a small window but maxed one, and the video will freeze
Not sure, is Update Brave Ad Block Resources Library - Version: 1.0.119 in brave://components updated? Try closing/re-opening the browser, or test in a different profile?
Well, @Clix, would be nice if you could be more particular about what websites you’re speaking of. But I’m on Windows 11 and it doesn’t matter what website I go to, any media being played will continue even if I have other things open on top of it.
Giving more information would let people test a bit more.
@Clix So I just did it on Twitch, YouTube, HiAnime, and a few others. Maximized the video and have it playing, then open a new window and browse. If I alt+tab it switches back to it with no issues.
I tried some various testing just now. It didn’t matter if I had memory saver enabled or anything. I tried turning off graphics acceleration, opening several different windows, even using other browsers besides Brave but it kept playing. I even could play videos on YouTube while Twitch was still going.
I tried both with just hitting the full screen buttons on their player, but then just in case had even tried doing F11 to put the browser completely in full screen. Regardless of which, it all went with no problem.
Can you try some of the following to see if any differences?
If you toggle the setting for Use graphics acceleration when available which is found at brave://settings/system do you notice any difference? If you have it off, turn it on and test. If it was off, then use it with it on.
Create a second profile. That’s the three line hamburger menu on the top right → more tools → add new profile. Test it without changing settings or adding extensions.
Test on Brave Beta or Brave Nightly. Does it also happen there?
it tried it before posting here, didnt change anything, even if the video is on full screen or not it still turns black/freezes till i got back into the window the video is at.
i uninstalled and deleted appdata then reinstall and it didnt change anything but still tried a new profile didnt change anything
downloaded now brave nightly, happens there aswell
