Previously, all videos from any site played in the background, but today this function stopped working. Only audio is now played in the background. I checked the app permissions in settings and Brave settings but all playback permissions are enabled. The only thing I noticed is that now in the Brave settings it says about playing AUDIO in the background and not video. Is this a new update or a bug? I reinstalled Brave several times but nothing changed. Is it possible to solve this problem?
