Description of the issue: Since the latest Brave update on Android, Brave no longer detects that I am actively watching a video.
While a video is playing, the screen dims after a few seconds as if I am inactive, and then the phone locks according to my screen timeout settings.
Before the update, this did not happen while watching videos.
How can this issue be reproduced?
-
Open Brave on an Android phone.
-
Open a website and start playing a video.
-
Wait without touching the screen — the screen dims and eventually locks even though the video is still playing.
Expected result: watching videos continiously without dimming and screenlocking
Brave Version( check About Brave): Brave 1.96.59, Chromium 154.0.8037.58
